Quotes:
Capt. Wade Hunnicutt: ...Kind of man that walks around with nothing in his pockets, no identification because everyone knows who you are. No cash because anyone in town would be happy to lend you anything you need. No keys 'cause you don't keep a lock on a single thing you own. And no watch because time waits on you. more

Underrated Drama Is One Of Vicente Minnelli's Best Films, 20 March 2005
9/10
Author: Hal-900 from WA, USA

"Home from the Hill" is perhaps a bit too melodramatic but Vicente Minnelli's excellent direction and the strong cast make it irresistibly slick entertainment. It is long, but well-defined characters and unexpected situations, keep the narrative interesting. Robert Mitchum gives a strong performance in the leading role. Eleanor Parker is great too (her beauty and elegance are more evident than ever before). George Hamilton and George Peppard perform well in secondary roles. Curiously, the high production values (a trademark of MGM) are at odds with the grim aspects of the narrative - it is a strange combination that works beautifully. Fans of old Hollywood productions need to check it out.
