Description

The Man from Snowy River — A conventional boy-and-his-horse story set against the red rocks of remote Australian mountains. Jim Craig (Tom Burlinson) has lived his first 18 years in the mountains of Australia on his father's farm. The death of his father forces him to go to the low lands to earn enough money to get the farm back on its feet. Kirk Douglas plays two roles as twin brothers who haven't spoken for years, one of whom was Jim's father's best friend and the other of whom is the father of the girl he wants to marry. A 20-year-old feud re-erupts, catching Jim and Jessica (Sigrid Thornton) in the middle of it as Jim is accused of letting a prize stallion loose. He rides off with the crack riders to bring it back, back into the mountains where he was raised. Jim goes out with them because of the regard in which his father was held, and comes back having earned his own respect.
