Movie Reviews

USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkA remarkably effective and absorbing picture (if a little too long), with another sterling performance from Mitchum.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Bosley CrowtherA sense of outdoor living and a tingle of open-air adventure are the breath of life in this film.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Crosby DayA beautifully photographed, sentimental film about a family of itinerant Australian sheepherders who travel from job to job during the 1920s.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumA touching Fred Zinnemann movie (1960) about an Australian sheepherding family.
The New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelZinnemann's customary care for detail pays occasional dividends, but the film goes on rather too long.
