Movie Reviews of Home from the HillMovie Review: Mitchum in his prime! Summary: 4 StarsI am a movie buff but for some reason I never saw this movie until I was in my 30's..a terrific movie by any standard. Robert Mitchum WAS in his prime here. This movie and Vincent Minnelli squeezed out excellent performances from Eleanor Parker, George Hamilton and George Peppard. This was some of the earliest performances in Hamilton and Peppards' career. I thought George Peppard nearly stole this movie in his role as Rafe...a great part...for a very entertaining 50's movie.
Summary of Home from the HillUn portrait de famille ? l??Tintensit?? dramatique incomparable Dans l??Tun de ses plus beaux r??les, Robert Mitchum interpr??te le ?? Capitaine ?? Wade Hunnicutt, un influent chef de famille dont la passion commune pour la chasse et les femmes aura des cons??quences dramatiques pour toute sa famille. Adaptation du roman best seller de William Humphrey, cette grande saga se focalise sur une riche famille d??Tune petite ville du Texas : le mari bourru et coureur de jupons (Mitchum) ; sa femme am??re et distante (Eleanor Parker) ; le fils faible et introverti, Theron (George Hamilton) ; le viril fils ill??gitime de Hunnicutt, Rafe (George Peppard) ; et la femme magnifique (Luna Patten) dont les deux gar??ons sont amoureux. Quand la jeune et influen??able Theron apprend l??Tinavouable v??rit?? sur son p??re, les sentiments refoul??s de la famille explosent, d??clenchant un cercle vicieux qui conduira ? l??Tapog??e dramatique du film. Salu?? par la critique, Celui par Qui le Scandale Arrive b??n??ficie de la r??alisation impeccable de Vincente Minnelli et des performances m??morables de jeunes acteurs comme George Hamilton et George Peppard qui font leurs premiers pas sur grand ??cran. Home from the Hill is among the underrated titles in the careers of Robert Mitchum and Vincente Minnelli, two disparate talents who create a potent familial saga here. The setting is East Texas, where Mitchum's philandering patriarch rules the local area. His wife (Eleanor Parker) has raised their son (George Hamilton) as a momma's boy, the kind of soft kid who gets bamboozled into going on a "snipe hunt" with the pranking locals. His opposite number is a manly farmhand (George Peppard) with his own bond with Mitchum. Southern melodrama thrives in such a setting, and the film doesn't avoid all the traps, but Minnelli suffuses the movie with the same emotional effects of color and movement that he brought to his direction of musicals. Minnelli's sensitivity and Mitchum's strength carry the movie, but the secret weapon is the unexpectedly good work from the two Georges, both of whom were at the beginning of their careers. (You can see from this film that Peppard is a dead-cert to become a major movie star, which he almost did--but then didn't, for a variety of reasons.) The film was shot on location around Paris, Texas, and although this is far from Minnelli's An American in Paris, the exciting hunting sequences are solid proof that you can't pigeonhole a talented director. You can't pigeonhole Mitchum, either, and this is one of his best roles. --Robert Horton
