Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: At the end of the film when the brumbies are being driven toward a holding corral, the mare Bess and the colt are way out in front. They're domesticated, and they'd know that the ranch meant food and water, so they'd be more eager to return than the others. more

Curly: I'm studying to be supervisor

Superb example of quality Australian film, 10 December 1999
10/10
Author: Jess N. Owers (jo021@students.stir.ac.uk) from Stirling, Scotland

The Man From Snowy River (1982) demonstrates the quality of the Australian film industry in recent years. The cinematography, the score, the quality of acting - all combine to make this film a romantic classic, a Gone With the Wind parallel. Having grown up with this film, twelve years later, it is the still the most beautiful, most awesomely inspiring epic I have ever seen. Clearly one of the best stories of love, life and horses ever filmed in one of the most astounding paradises on Earth.
