 The Man From Snowy River
Description: Inspired by an epic poem by A.B. Banjo Patterson, The Man From Snowy River was a major step forward for the regenerated Australian film industry of the early '80s. This down-under Western spotlights Tom Burlinson as Jim Craig, a headstrong young man who goes to work for a powerful cattle baron. Burlinson falls in love with Jessica (Sigrid Thornton), his boss' daughter, and becomes enmeshed in a bitter land feud. Kirk Douglas has a high old time in the dual role of hard-hearted landowner Harrison and grizzled, one-legged old prospector Spur. Previously filmed in 1920, The Man From Snowy River was directed by the other George Miller, not the director of the same name who helmed Mad Max (1979). A monumental moneymaker, the film inspired a 1988 sequel, confusingly titled Return to Snowy River, Part II.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source |
