The Thomas Hardy "Writer" page provides a filmography of twenty-four films and television productions based on Hardy's writings, ranging from a 1913 film of Tess of the d'Urbervilles to a 2001 adaptation of the Mayor of Casterbridge. The filmography also includes film and/or television adaptations of "A Tragedy of Two Ambitions," "The Melancholy Hussar," Exploits at West Poley, The Woodlanders, Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Far from the Madding Crowd, and Under the Greenwood Tree.

COMMENT:

Although this site is supported by advertisers, its film coverage is relatively objective. The 32 texts of reviews "external" and "newsgroup" it provides for the 1996 film version of Jude the Obscure, for example, are representative of the widely divergent estimations of that production.

SUMMARY:

As a source of reliable information on the Internet about film and television dramatizations of Hardy's works, this site is unsurpassed.
