'The Go-Between' and 'Far from the Madding Crowd'


'far from the madding crowd' and 'the go-between' show julie at her radiant best. 1967 and 1970 respectively they gave julie cinema photographers who loved her. 'the go-between' is a classic. 'far from the madding crowd' based on the thomas hardy novel less so. it is based on dryer source material as are most hardy novels. the award winning combination of julie and director john schlessinger,straight off of 'darling' failed to save this at the box office. yet it is lush and boasts an attractive cast including peter finch, alan bates and a strikingly handsome terrence stamp.

oddly only 'far from the madding crowd is available on dvd.

Natalie Part 3 1954-1961

Natalie got the break most child stars did not. She got to play teenage rolls and the audience accepted her. These include 'Rebel Without a Cause', 'Splendor in the Grass', 'Cash McCall' and 'Marjorie Morningstar'. The rest can mostly be forgotten. But still a star was made over and reborn.
1961 gives us Natalie in 'Splendor in the Grass'
1961 also gives us another film that begins the last phase of Natalie's career. That movie will begin Part 4 and will never and should never be forgotten.
