The famous (well here in Australia) poem by the renowned bush poet A.B. "Banjo" Patterson from 1890. We had to study it in the dim past of my primary schooling: The Man From Snowy River There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around That the colt from Old Regret had got away, And had joined the wild bush horses - he was worth a thousand pound, So all the cracks had gathered to the fray. All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far Had mustered at the homestead overnight, For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are, And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight. There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup, The old man with his hair as white as snow; But few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up - He would go wherever horse and man could go. And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand, No better horseman ever held the reins; For never horse could throw him while the saddle girths would stand, He learnt to ride while droving on the plains. And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast; He was something like a racehorse undersized, With a touch of Timor pony - three parts thoroughbred at least - And such as are by mountain horsemen prized. He was hard and tough and wiry - just the sort that won't say die - There was courage in his quick impatient tread; And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye, And the proud and lofty carriage of his head. But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay, And the old man said, "That horse will never do For a long and tiring gallop - lad, you'd better stop away, Those hills are far too rough for such as you." So he waited sad and wistful - only Clancy stood his friend - "I think we ought to let him come," he said; "I warrant he'll be with us when he's wanted at the end, For both his horse and he are mountain bred." "He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side, Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough, Where a horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flint stones every stride, The man that holds his own is good enough. And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, Where the river runs those giant hills between; I have seen full many horsemen since I first commenced to roam, But nowhere yet such horsemen have I seen." So he went; they found the horses by the big mimosa clump, They raced away towards the mountain's brow, And the old man gave his orders, "Boys, go at them from the jump, No use to try for fancy riding now. And, Clancy, you must wheel them, try and wheel them to the right. Ride boldly, lad, and never fear the spills, For never yet was rider that could keep the mob in sight, If once they gain the shelter of those hills." So Clancy rode to wheel them - he was racing on the wing Where the best and boldest riders take their place, And he raced his stockhorse past them, and he made the ranges ring With the stockwhip, as he met them face to face. Then they halted for a moment, while he swung the dreaded lash, But they saw their well-loved mountain full in view, And they charged beneath the stockwhip with a sharp and sudden dash, And off into the mountain scrub they flew. Then fast the horsemen followed, where the gorges deep and black Resounded to the thunder of their tread, And the stockwhips woke the echoes, and they fiercely answered back From cliffs and crags that beetled overhead. And upward, ever upward, the wild horses held their way, Where Mountain Ash and Kurrajong grew wide; And the old man muttered fiercely, "We may bid the mob good day, No man can hold them down the other side." When they reached the mountain's summit, even Clancy took a pull - It well might make the boldest hold their breath; The wild hop scrub grew thickly, and the hidden ground was full Of wombat holes, and any slip was death. But the man from Snowy River let the pony have his head, And he swung his stockwhip round and gave a cheer, And he raced him down the mountain like a torrent down its bed, While the others stood and watched in very fear. He sent the flint-stones flying, but the pony kept his feet, He cleared the fallen timbers in his stride, And the man from Snowy River never shifted in his seat - It was grand to see that mountain horseman ride. Through the stringy barks and saplings, on the rough and broken ground, Down the hillside at a racing pace he went; And he never drew the bridle till he landed safe and sound, At the bottom of that terrible descent. He was right among the horses as they climbed the farther hill And the watchers on the mountain standing mute, Saw him ply the stockwhip fiercely; he was right among them still, As he raced across the clearing in pursuit. Then they lost him for a moment, where two mountain gullies met In the ranges - but a final glimpse reveals On a dim and distant hillside the wild horses racing yet, With the man from Snowy River at their heels. And he ran them single-handed till their sides were white with foam. He followed like a bloodhound on their track, Till they halted cowed and beaten, then he turned their heads for home, And alone and unassisted brought them back. But his hardy mountain pony he could scarcely raise a trot, He was blood from hip to shoulder from the spur; But his pluck was still undaunted, and his courage fiery hot, For never yet was mountain horse a cur. And down by Kosciusko, where the pine-clad ridges raise Their torn and rugged battlements on high, Where the air is clear as crystal, and the white stars fairly blaze At midnight in the cold and frosty sky, And where around the Overflow the reed -beds sweep and sway To the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide, The man from Snowy River is a household word today, And the stockmen tell the story of his ride.

Wow. I didn’t think anyone would react to this movie. I’m glad you liked it. My wife and I saw it at a theater when it came out. Have seen it many times since. My wife still loves it. Her favorite part is Jim and Jessica breaking the colt. To this day we throw out some lines, such as when we like a person: he’s “welcome at my fire anytime.” Or, when bringing up the subject of a man: “a man did you say?” If I remember correctly, I read where Tom Burlinson learned to ride like that in two weeks before shooting. Currently, my wife is absolutely taken by the Canadian television series “Heartland.” It’s about a young horse whisperer and her ranch family. It’s not a western. It’s going on 18 seasons now. However, it’s currently showing all 15 seasons on the BYU network. FYI. Haha. Just this morning I told my wife I would sweep the porch. She said, “I’ll be back to to check on your work.” From when Jim first met Curly. Haha.

This and the utterly incredible and incomparable the Black Stallion film (really, like 1/3 of that movie has no dialogue, just shots of a boy on an adventure with a stallion!) were my "go to" horseback adventures as a pre-teen.

This movie was such a core memory from my early childhood! My parents/I didn't own it on vhs so I only got to watch it when we visited my grandparents, an expensive trip for where we lived, so it was a treat I made sure to enjoy every time. I remember the shot at 15:35 scared me, like the stallion was intentionally planning on hurting Jim, and 16:28 made me cover my eyes in fear, I don't know why anymore😅. I haven't seen it since I was about 12 but I remember being in utter awe at 34:12 with that same expression--I actually got into a fight with brother, insisting it was a real shot because the trees were upright while he insisted it was a tilted camera on a gentler slop--then overjoyed when Jim reappears still herding the brumbies later. The snow scene with that twinkling music was the most beautiful visual & audio combo I had ever experienced, then adding the whip crack! Such a great moment! I'm in my thirties now and the way Jim tugged at his hat brim is something I carried ever since those days. So glad I got to see your reaction to it, enjoying it like I did.

Hi, Madison K. Thames. You may never read this comment but, ................................. 'Ackshully', this is NOT technically a 'western' as such 'coz it takes place in what is known as The Great Dividing Range which runs parallel to the EAST coast of Australia and seldom more than about 70 kilometres - around 40 miles - in from the EAST coast, inna country which is around 4,000 kilometres - 2,500 miles across - so DEFINITELY an 'Eastern'. I LOVED the look on your face when Jim headed over the edge after the horse herd - PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might like to look up the poem, "The Man From Snowy River", by A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson, upon which this movie is based. The poem is NOT just about the horse gathering or 'muster'. It is also about "going the extra mile" , putting in the extra effort to get the job done. Thank you for the entertainment of watching you watching this movie. GREAT stuff. Now you might like to take a look at the sequel, “The Man From Snowy River 2.” And then maybe follow it up with Crocodile Dundee and Crocodile Dundee 2. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day.

You've already reviewed 'High Noon" and "Shane". What makes these 4 westerns so great is that they are about the relationships between the people in them and not just about who's the faster gun. The other 2 films that you haven't done yet both happen to be starring John Wayne! They are "The Searchers" from 1956 and "Red River" from 1948. The first one is in color and "Red River" is in black and white. Aside from being an epic western, "Red River" has some very strong parts for woman. Bother films have great epic stories, great acting and great photography of America's scenic west. Please do "Red River" first. I guarantee you'll love them both!

Madison, great reaction! I saw this around the time it first came out but the one scene that really stuck in my memory was the race down that steep slope-my reaction was probably just like yours. There was a legendary stuntman named Yakima Canutt who did that stunt in the 1930s that made his reputation as a one-of-a-kind horseman (he was a rodeo champion before getting into the movies) and crazy. Maybe you could check out the movie Stagecoach from 1939, the film that made John Wayne a star and showcased Canutt’s stunt work (jumping from horse to horse while they are pulling the stagecoach and being dragged under a horse team like Indiana Jones).

Yes, Kirk Douglas playing both brothers was a bit of cinematic magic back in the 1980s. Unfortunately our (then) struggling film industry couldn't afford two big American stars, so we had to squeeze the most value out of the one we got. Do yourself a huge favour and don't ever watch the sequel; it is absolutely woeful. I'm lucky enough to be living about 30minutes from where this movie was shot.

Brumbies are the equivalent of our Mustangs.

This is a wonderful movie. I saw it when it first came out. The music is also wonderful. I ASSUME you have seen the Black Stallion and National Velvet?

Clancy got his own poem CLANCY OF THE OVERFLOW - A.B. "Banjo" Paterson I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better Knowledge, sent to where I met him down the Lachlan, years ago, He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him, Just "on spec", addressed as follows: "Clancy, of The Overflow". And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected, (And I think the same was written in a thumbnail dipped in tar) 'Twas his shearing mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it: "Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are." In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy Gone a-droving "down the Cooper" where the western drovers go; As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing, For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars, And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars. I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down between the houses tall, And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty, dirty city Through the open window floating, spreads its foulness over all. And in place of lowing cattle, I can hear the fiendish rattle Of the tramways and the buses making hurry down the street, And the language uninviting of the gutter children fighting, Comes fitfully and faintly through the ceaseless tramp of feet. And the hurrying people daunt me, and their pallid faces haunt me As they shoulder one another in their rush and nervous haste, With their eager eyes and greedy, and their stunted forms and weedy, For townsfolk have no time to grow, they have no time to waste. And I somehow fancy that I'd like to change with Clancy, Like to take a turn at droving where the seasons come and go, While he faced the round eternal of the cashbook and the journal - But I doubt he'd suit the office, Clancy, of "The Overflow". The Bulletin, 21 December 1889.

I thought you'd be watching Ned Kelly based on the description of your book but this is a good choice.

Was that intentional... or did you really not catch the double meaning of your comment?!

this is a great Aussie movie but i would not call it a western its more of a adventure movie. Brumbies are Australian wild horses. Sigrid Thorton is a famous Australian actress and I love her. they changed the actor playing Mr. Harrison in the second movie but the second one is just as good. Clancy of the over flow and the man from snowy river are both poems from Banjo Patterson who is one of Australia's best know writers. Australian westerns that you might like are Quidley down under and all the rivers run this last one also stars Sigrid Thorton.

So not a Western, I hope you enjoyed it anyway. I love Westerns, especially spagetti Westerns.
