I LOVE LOVE The Man From Snowy River! I saw it in the theatre in 1982 and have watched it 30x over the last 43 years. I listen to Jessica's Theme all the time.
As an American cowboy, I had never seen an outback saddle before this film came out (and would never consider planting my butt in an English saddle). My first thought was it was an odd English saddle. As I sat through the movie I began to become more and more curious about it. About 3 years later I had an opportunity to ride one. As someone who almost exclusively rides a variety of 1860s thru 1890s style "A" fork saddles I felt right at home. After a few hours of riding I decided I had to have one. It took another couple years but I finally bought one. Still have it, still use it, especially for training young and rank horses. Great interview!!!
My brother was studying film work when this came out, and he insisted that I come and see it with him. During the descent scene, I whispered to him, "Are they bending (tilting) the camera?" He absolutely hissed at me, "No, look at the trees." Great riding and cinematography. Great movie.
When Bango Patterson's poem descriptions of the ride they blend. In my head, his words are playing. 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.
Best movie I have watched in my lifetime. I have watched it at least 30 times. I was 17 when it came out and it has had a wonderful impact on my life. Thank you Mr. Burlinson, for the amazing work you did and for the incredibly long lasting impact you have had on everyone who has watched it!
I’m 84 years old I’ve watched a lot of movies in my lifetime as far as I’m concerned that is the best movie I’ve ever watched. I have a DVD can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve watched it and I’ll watch it again never get tired of that movie lol
Honey it wasn’t just a moment in Australia film it was a moment in film history period. Possibly the greatest ride ever in any movie. It was all you and your horse no cutting splicing of film to get the scene it was all one great scene unmatched before C or after. And it wows me that you weren’t an experienced horseman but you and the horse were one for that moment But yes it was and is one of the great scenes in film world wide and most likely the greatest horse ridding scene in film history ever. And thank you very much for giving it to us
My favourite movie of all time too. First viewed man from snowy in Darwin 1982. Absolutely thrilling then and still is now. And Tom is still just a beautiful man.
This movie is a true masterpiece. I will never forget when I saw it in theaters just brilliantly done and casted. I grew up in South Dakota this is a classic movie of horsemanship anyone who loves horses must watch this. Cheers from Colorado.
The question is: with the given talent of riding a horse like Tom Did back then, please tell me he still gets on a horse. He is a natural riding. I’ve ridden most of my life and know a natural Horsemen when I see one!
Yes, he's a genuinely lovely guy! Thoughtful, considerate, self-effacing, and obliging. You don't often see that. Such a joy to interview. And he's very talented, too!
I saw this in the theaters with my older sister when it first came out, watched it sooo many times and now I have to try and find it online and watch it all again!! Love that mountain scene, but my sister and I both had a crush on Tom for years!!!
A lovely man. The down the mountain ride is the scene I can watch over and over. The riding skill Tom acquired is amazing. I find myself leaning back in my chair as well when I watch it. ") Thank you for this interview, was a great joy. In Joy
Love love love the movie Man from snowy river. Tom is just wonderful in it. I wanted to share with Tom that the Movie was one of my Dads favorites. Before my Dad died 4 years ago we would always get together and watch it. Tom will always be an inspiration to me. To bad i can't meet him one day. That would be an Honor
Okay so when the movie came out I was young but I was so enthralled with him like in love with him it's like a fairytale romantic and a superhero I was so in love with him😊😊😊😊
My favorite movie of all time. Introducing it to my teenagers now. Tom seems like such a cheerful, optimistic soul - truly a lovely man! After Peter Pan, my first childhood crush. ;)
It was discussed, quite a few times, but it was thought that the legend had run its course and to do any more big-screen sequels might be stretching things. But, a TV series was made (four seasons!), on a rather smaller budget (the music wasn't a patch on the original fabulous score!), starring none other than Guy Pearce, who was 27 when it started. It's available on DVD as a boxset. And, yes, Tom's a total legend! Ian
I saw the show in Melbourne yesterday and it was fantastic!! Loved the stories from Tom and Sigrid beforehand. This is one of my favourite movies, even with it being 2 years older than I am.
So glad that I had more than one opportunity to see The Man from Snowy River when I worked in Papua New Guinea. Not so sure I would have been able to catch it if I had been home in Canada.
I saw Star trek Into darkness with a live orchestra and it's AWESOME!!!! Hope they do this with Man from Snow river here in SE Virginia with a live orchestra! What a treat that would be.
You all need a third trilogy with Craig and Jessica children and grand children and of course the brumblies the horses of course the great grandson leading the herd.
There is no way that movie would have succeeded if Mr. Burlinson hadn't taken it upon himself to learn to ride. He's right up there with Ben Johnson or Slim Pickens as far as actors who could ride. And they both were cowboys who found themselves in Hollywood.
Mad Max George is not the George Miller who directed Man From Snowy ... George T Miller was often referred to as the 'other' George Miller - but he should be venerated in his own right, especially for great films like the tv mini series The Last Outlaw about Ned Kelly, All The Rivers Run, Against the Wind, ANZACS and Les Patterson Saves The World ...
May he indeed, Rose! Such a great actor with some marvellous movies to his credit, not just The Man, but also Spartacus and the terrific Paths of Glory! Yes, RIP. Ian
How are there not more views on this!!!! This man is a legend among American cowboys
Many thanks, SFK! Agreed! Tom is an iconic cowboy - and a really nice person!
Great film. And true.
The best horsemanship of any western movie other than maybe the black stallion. That kid was pretty incredible too.

I always got the chills when he the horse made that jump it was the best movies i have watched

I have a DVD can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve watched it and I’ll watch it again never get tired of that movie lol
It’s amazing that Tom Burlinson did not know how to ride horses before this movie. He was amazing.
I've lost count of how many times I've watched the Snowy River movies. They are so good
@@jamescampbell4313 Agreed, James! They’re really terrific! Ian

Yes, a magnificent sequence, and Tom was terrific - not to forget the horse, too! Tom will be very pleased to read your comments, Jill! Thank you! Ian
I agree the best ever even today
My favourite movie of all time too. First viewed man from snowy in Darwin 1982. Absolutely thrilling then and still is now. And Tom is still just a beautiful man.
Yes, it's as exciting now as back when it was first released! How great to have fIrst watched it in Darwin!

This is so good and the way that Tom nails Kirk's voice is brilliant
The question is: with the given talent of riding a horse like Tom
Did back then, please tell me he still gets on a horse. He is a natural riding. I’ve ridden most of my life and know a natural
Horsemen when I see one!
Yes he does
Nice to see this kid actor turned out really well in life. As a human being.
Yes, he's a genuinely lovely guy! Thoughtful, considerate, self-effacing, and obliging. You don't often see that. Such a joy to interview. And he's very talented, too!
This movie was the reason I finally got an Australian saddle!!! THANK YOU 🐎

Isn't it an exciting sequence?! So amazingly shot, and acted!! Thank you for your kind comment, Vivian! Ian
Wasn't there a stunt man that did part of the ride too?
The best movie of all time! This movie has influenced so much of my life, and now my kids lives!
That's great to hear! I'm so glad I was able to take my son to see it when he was very young. And it holds up so well today!
These two movies are two of my favorite movies of all time. I own both of them!!!
You have great taste, Walt; I totally agree with you! Thank you for watching Tom’s interview!
Love love love the movie Man from snowy river. Tom is just wonderful in it. I wanted to share with Tom that the Movie was one of my Dads favorites. Before my Dad died 4 years ago we would always get together and watch it. Tom will always be an inspiration to me. To bad i can't meet him one day. That would be an Honor
Loved Tom and Sigrid in this movie and love the high country where it was filmed which is not far from where I live. Thanks for the interview.
Tom I also remember you in Phar Lap such a great history of Australia number 1 race horse.
Yes, he was really good in that other horse film!! Ian
Okay so when the movie came out I was young but I was so enthralled with him like in love with him it's like a fairytale romantic and a superhero I was so in love with him😊😊😊😊
Thank you from Texas.
My favorite movie of all time. Introducing it to my teenagers now. Tom seems like such a cheerful, optimistic soul - truly a lovely man! After Peter Pan, my first childhood crush. ;)
Your teenagers are lucky to have this great movie brought to their attention!! Yes, Tom is a totally lovely guy!! Ian
Beautiful movie and score❣I've adored for all these years.
I so agree with you!! Simply magnificent music!!
This movie is LEGENDARY!!!!
It so is!! Couldn’t agree more!!
Your a legend Tom, thank you so much.
Has A Man From Snowy 3 ever been discussed?
It was discussed, quite a few times, but it was thought that the legend had run its course and to do any more big-screen sequels might be stretching things. But, a TV series was made (four seasons!), on a rather smaller budget (the music wasn't a patch on the original fabulous score!), starring none other than Guy Pearce, who was 27 when it started. It's available on DVD as a boxset. And, yes, Tom's a total legend! Ian
Im glad they did not. Stories end, let them end majestically.
I saw the show in Melbourne yesterday and it was fantastic!! Loved the stories from Tom and Sigrid beforehand. This is one of my favourite movies, even with it being 2 years older than I am.
So glad that I had more than one opportunity to see The Man from Snowy River when I worked in Papua New Guinea. Not so sure I would have been able to catch it if I had been home in Canada.
American here! Wish I could buy a DVD of Pharlap.
I saw Star trek Into darkness with a live orchestra and it's AWESOME!!!! Hope they do this with Man from Snow river here in SE Virginia with a live orchestra! What a treat that would be.
Loooovvvveee these two movies!❤❤
Yes, they're simply wonderful! Agreed!
You all need a third trilogy with Craig and Jessica children and grand children and of course the brumblies the horses of course the great grandson leading the herd.
Now, that would be just terrific! Love to see that! Ian
@@THE_GOSSIP_AND_THE_CRITICthere was a TV show if memory serves me

He's right up there with Ben Johnson or Slim Pickens as far as actors who could ride. And they both were cowboys who found themselves in Hollywood.
The movies and Tom have been and will always be favorites
Totally agree! And Tom will be so pleased to read this!
Beats every stunt Tom Cruise ever did
What a gracious Man

Oh yeah he's cute❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
May Kirk Douglas RIP
May he indeed, Rose! Such a great actor with some marvellous movies to his credit, not just The Man, but also Spartacus and the terrific Paths of Glory! Yes, RIP. Ian
❤
Except we dug up trees and replanted them at an angle
I wish they hadn’t killed off Jim’s horse in the film. They should have just retired him at the end. That part sucked.
I know right! I sob everything I watch that part 😢
