malcolm-knott999's rating
'Casterbridge' is Dorchester, not Oxford. You can still stand in the street in Dorchester where Michael Henchard's wife stood, opposite the hotel where he was holding court as the mayor.
Two lines stand out from this memorable movie, lines for which I suppose Thomas Hardy must take most of the credit.
Henchard's first words on meeting his wife after twenty years: 'I don't drink.'
And his wife's explanation, when speaking of the man who had bid five guineas for her and her baby at the fairground auction: 'I couldn't leave him, Michael. Not after he'd paid all that money for me.'
(Both quotes from memory, but I think they are accurate.)
