Keeley Hawes ("Wives & Daughters") stars as the apple of
everyone's eye - at least the men's - in an enchanting adaptation
of Thomas Hardy's 19th-century pastoral romance, Under the
Greenwood Tree . Arriving in the English village of Mellstock
at Christmastime, new schoolteacher Fancy Day (Hawes) attracts
three suitors before she even unpacks: wealthy landowner Farmer
Shiner (Steve Pemberton, Match Point ), learned vicar
Parson Maybold (Ben Miles, "The Forsyte Saga") and bold wagon
driver Dick Dewy (James Murray, "Miss Marple"). Of the three, who
will it be? This captivating love story was one of Hardy's earliest
and happiest novels, predating such dark broodings on the same
theme as Far From the Madding Crowd .
