The Man from Snowy River Customer Reviews (22 - 24 of 24 Reviews)

Very Recommended!
As an australian myself, I can say that this movie is one to be proud of owning. The characters depicted in the movie are very real and believable with strong screen presences such as Kirk Douglas and Tom Burlinson. Tie that all up with the beautiful scenery of the Snowy Mountains and the award winning soundtrack of Bruce Rowland, make this DVD one of my all time favourites.

Saying that, don't waste your time or money buying the sequel. It is possibly, one of the worst movies ever made.

My Favorite Movie
I love this movie. I watched it for the first time as a little kid and have loved it ever since. I am in college now and it is still my favorite movie. It a story that can be appreciated and enjoyed by all ages. This movie is definately a family favorite at my house.

Great family Western
This is a good example of a "family" film that doesn't play down to any member of the audience. It also takes the Western in an interesting direction by moving the setting to Australia (it's based on a poem by an Australian poet). The dramatics are sometimes creaky, especially the twist that most viewers, even the young 'uns, will see coming from miles away, but the absolutely gorgeous photography makes up for it. The scenes of stampeding horses and the wranglers chasing them are literally breathtaking, and the widescreen transfers captures is all. Kirk Douglas is also excellent in his dual role and brings and American earthiness to the production.

This DVD features an excellent sound mix. Although not in 5.1, the Dolby Surround is crisp and lush for a back catalog film that otherwise has no special features on it at all. Bruce Rowalnd's wonderful score certainly deserves this deluxe treatment. And at this price, how can you resist the appeal of The Man from Snowy River?
