A review by r96sk
Written by r96sk on 2020-09-18
The plot isn't massively interesting to me, but some fine acting alongside terrific cinematography and editing keeps 'The Man from Snowy River' going at a positive level.

Tom Burlinson is good as Jim, while Kirk Douglas does a top job in a dual role as Harrison & Spur. The rest of the cast are solid. The storyline is watchable and I did enjoy it, but it just wasn't anything I could sink my teeth into; it's a little plain. However, as noted at the top, I do love how the film is put together; particularly with the horses, across the running shots especially. Australia looks nice, too...read the rest
