Movie Reviews of Home from the Hill
Movie Review: Minnelli's East of Eden is a Must See
Summary: 5 Stars
I know that I'm asking for trouble by comparing this in any way to Kazan's classic but so be it -- this is as powerful a filmgoing experience for me as that continues to be -- both seeming ageless in their emotional relevance to today's audience -- both superb portrayals of dysfunctional father-son relationships.
George Peppard and George Hamilton (who would have thought) give excellent performances as (spoiler) the sons -- one illegitimate -- of land baron Robert Mitchum (never been better). Yes, there is a soap opera element to this tale but Minnelli -- with the help of Hud screenwriters Ravetch and Frank -- proves that he was a gifted storyteller and not just a studio-bound director of musical comedies.
Every good film buff has a small handful of films that they enjoy sharing with every one they know. This is one of mine.
Movie Review: Texas Family in Turmoil
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie in 1960 with my mother. I remember her saying that it was going to be George Peppard's debut in a major motion picture and establish his acting career. Peppard was a co-star in the movie with Robert Mitchum and Eleanor Parker in the lead roles. The movie examines adultery and the coming of age of a teenager played by a young George Hamilton. There are several scenes that are deeply moving and Vincent Minnelli, the director, keeps the movie interesting by the wild boar hunt and the relationships between the two brothers played by George Peppard and George Hamilton.Movie Review: HOME FROM THE HILL - A TREASURE OF A MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
Home from the Hill is a story of how one secret can ruin your life and the lives of everyone whom it touches. The lead roles are wonderfully acted by Robert Mitchum and Eleanor Parker. Robert Mitchum has two sons,one played by George Peppard is illegitimate and the other played by George Hamilton is the naive son from his marriage. The story could have been a complete tragedy but kindness for the most unexpected person can sometimes be what is needed to turn the wrongs in life to rights. Beautifully filmed and beautifully acted, Home from the Hill is a treasure not to be missed.Movie Review: Great coming of age classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Mitchum at his finest as a "Man's Man." The tangled web of this Vincent Minnelli classic is the conflicts and camaraderie between the three main characters which have two early career George's (Peppard and Hamilton)showing their future success. This film details a way of life which is rarely seen today but takes the viewer to a simpler is not politically correct time in America.Movie Review: One Of The Best Movies In The World.
