While fighting to earn his spurs by breaking a herd of wild horses, Jim falls in love with his employer's spunky daughter. After his father's death, young Jim Craig (Tom Burlinson) leaves his home in the Snowy River valley to work for a wealthy landlord, who happens to be the estranged twin brother of Jim's mentor, a grizzled old prospector (both twins are played by Kirk Douglas). While fighting to earn his spurs by breaking a herd of wild horses, Jim falls in love with his employer's spunky daughter, Jessica (Sigrid Thornton). When one of the horses escapes and the blame falls on Jim, the boy must return to the Australian hills where he grew up, in order to find the horse and come back a man. Actor Tom Burlinson and director George Miller made their feature-film debuts with "The Man from Snowy River."
Miller should not be confused with fellow Australian George Miller, who directed the "Mad Max" series, "The Witches of Eastwick," and "Lorenzo's Oil."
Actor Kirk Douglas reportedly wrote much of his own dialogue for the film.
Additional cast: June Jago (as Mrs. Bailey), Kristopher Steele (Moss), Howard Eynon (Short Man), and John Nash (Tall Man).
Michael Lake served as production supervisor.
Production company: Michael Edgley International.
Estimated budget: 3.5 million Australian dollars. The ending chase scenes feature 90 horses and 40 riders.
Filmed on location in the Great Dividing Ranges in Victoria, Australia. Shot in Panavision and Eastmancolor.
Rated M by Australia's Commonwealth Film Censors.
A sequel to the film appeared in 1988, "Return to Snowy River." "Man"'s producer, Geoff Burrowes, directed "Return," which starred Tom Burlinson, Sigrid Thornton, Brian Dennehy, Nicholas Eadie, and Bryan Marshall. Man From Snowy River Reviews: "...A rattling good adventure story....Exhilarating, heart-pounding fare..."

I have had several copies of this movie and enjoy watching it every time I put it in. Good clean film and wonderfully produced, beautiful scenry with beautiful horses. A wonderful story of a young man trying to proof himself to be a man and a young lady just wanting to be free, falling in love even when the odds are against them. My heart just stops everytime I watch Jim ride over the edge, with all the other riders watching. Determination is the key to success and he proofs it.

I saw this in the movie theater near Escondido,CA-USA, 22 years ago. The first and second one were excellent, I would recommend them to everyone. Nothing beats a romance set to a outback/western landscape !

One of John Ford's most cherished projects, THE QUIET MAN took years to finance but became one of his greatest box-office successes and an enduringly beloved classic. John Wayne stars as Sean Thornton, a retired American boxing champion trying to put tragedy behind him by returning to Innisfree, the bucolic Irish village of his birth. He purchases his birthplace from its current owner, enraging the wealthy and bellicose Red Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who had designs on the property. On arriving at his cottage, Thornton finds it being swept out by Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara), a redheaded vision from whom he steals a not completely unwelcome kiss. After engaging in a subterfuge involving a horse race, some of the locals manage to get the disgruntled Red Will to allow his sister to be courted by the American. But the courtship ritual of the village is only the first of many local practices that the bewildered Thornton must endure if he is to have Mary Kate. Wayne gives a surprisingly nuanced performance as the fish out of water, and he is perfectly ...

Based on a true story culled from hours of interviews by director Bruce Beresford, the film stars Glenn Close as British socialite Adrienne Pargiter. Alerted to the imminence of an invasion of Singapore in 1942, a group of the wives and children of Allied forces quickly crowd aboard a transport. When the ship is bombed, they end up on the island of Sumatra, where they are captured and imprisoned. Conditions in the camp are predictably brutal: food and medicine are difficult to come by, and the living quarters are squalid. One punishment requires a woman to kneel in the hot sun for hours only to fall on a sharp stake if she tires. Given the situation, Pargiter, who is also a musician, decides to organize the women into a vocal orchestra to help raise morale. Although they lack sheet music, ...
