Quotes:

Gabriel Oak: At home by the fire, whenever I look up, there you will be. And whenever you look up, there I shall be.

Bathsheba Everdene: [to her farmhands] There's ten shillings for anyone who wants to stay, and no hard words for anyone who wants to go.

Bathsheba Everdene: [to her workers] Don't anyone suppose that because I'm a woman, I don't understand the difference between bad goings-on and good. I shall be up before you're awake, I shall be afield before you're up, and I shall have breakfasted before you're afield. In short, I shall astonish you all.

Bathsheba Everdene: I've been checking the records. We've never had so many lambs come to maturity as this year. Not ever.::Gabriel Oak: Well, we've been lucky, Ma'am.::Bathsheba Everdene: I'VE been lucky!

Sgt. Francis 'Frank' Troy: [to Bathsheba] A woman like you does more damage than she can conceivably imagine.

Joseph Poorgrass: [Very drunk] Well, I got a slight attack of the multiplying eye.

Sgt. Francis 'Frank' Troy: [to Bathsheba] This woman is more to me dear than you ever were... or are... or could be.

Liddy: [about Boldwood] He is married to his farm. That's the truth of it.::Temperence: There's no woman can touch him, Miss. 'Tis said he has no passionate parts.

Plot: In this short, MGM showed distributors and exhibitors highlights from the studio's films scheduled to be released during the upcoming 1967-68 film seasons. The first two-thirds of the film contain excerpts of movies in production or ready for distribution, starting in the fall of 1967. The last third shows advertising artwork for titles still in development. At least one of the films in the latter group never made it to the theater screen (an adaptation of 'Cornelius Ryan' (qv)'s book "The Last Battle"), and two other adaptations were not released until many years later (_Caravans (1978)_ (qv) [released by Universal] and _Tai-Pan (1986)_ (qv)).
