Movie Reviews of The Man From Snowy River

Movie Review: He's not a lad, brother! HE'S A MAN!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie KNOCKED ME OUT!

One of my favorite films of all time! I first saw it when I was stationed at Clark Air Base in the Philippines. This is the very first movie I ever rented. It was a boot-leg copy, of course. But I was glued to the set. Jim and Jessica! Old man Harrison! Spur! Clancy! Lorraine Baily's character! Even the snot who let the stallion loose ... they were all magnificent! And that horse chasing scene had me on the edge! This will always be one of my faves!

Movie Review: Erratic Sound Problem
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a wonderful movie which is why I replaced my VCR tape copied from TV by buying it as a DVD. Unfortunately, the sound is a major problem. Every time the scenes changed from dialogue to music or action such as thundering horses, calamitous weather,etc. the volume rose to a shreiking crescendo. It required constant volume adjustment to be able to watch the film comfortably. I don't recall this being such a glaring problem on the VCR copy. Perhaps sound is now mixed for the younger people who suffer hearing loss from the music (I use that term loosely) of their times, but if so, I don't see how they can make out the dialogue. This problem is not limited to just this DVD of course, but it spoiled an otherwise beautiful film.

Movie Review: Great story
Summary: 4 Stars

Man From Snowy River is a good romance with lots of action and shot in a beautiful location. Good all around story.

Movie Review: A Classic in its Own Right
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a great film. A classic romance and wonderful love story. It had great acting, great scenery, and one of the greatest ever horse riding scenes. Tom Burlinson, Sigrid Thornton, and Kirk Douglass were fantastic in their roles. This is one of my all time favorite movies.
