Based on a novel by Victorian novelist Thomas Hardy. Fancy Day is very beautiful and she
comes from a wealthy family background.
She journeys to a small village in the south of England to work as the
local schoolteacher and take care of her ailing father. Three of the local men are quite taken
with her and it’s not very long before she receives a proposal of marriage from
wealthy Farmer Shiner. The
townspeople are speculating that Reverend Maybold will also ask for her
hand. Dick Dewey is an honest
working man but not her father’s first choice for marriage to Fancy. Three suitors and two marriage
proposals, how will she decide?
I didn’t see what the greenwood tree has to do with this story except it
is continually shown. I didn’t
like the background music, it’s got the same loud tone over and over. Features nothing original and very
lightweight. 3* (This movie is OK)
93 min, Romance directed by Nicholas Laughland with Keeley
Hawes, Steve Pemberton, Ben Miles, James Murray, Tony Haygarth, Tom Georgeson, Terry
Mortimer.
Note: Blockbuster
