Review
NEW VERSION: https://officalmovienight.blogspot.com/2018/05/redux-redux-the-man-from-snowy-river.html

The film is a greatly made drama that has good acting, especially from Kirk Douglas, who plays not one, but two roles. The film also had the best horse racing/riding you will ever see. It's hard to believe its adapted from a poem, but you don't feel like it does. You feel its very original, which helps the film out. It's a family film that feels comfortable being what it is, as do I.

Overall, I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
