The plot isn't massively interesting to me, but some fine acting alongside terrific cinematography and editing keeps <em>'The Man from Snowy River'</em> 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;…
The story of a boy suddenly alone in the world. The men who challenge him. And the girl who helps him become a man.
Jim Craig 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 lowlands to earn enough money to get the farm back on its feet.
