Jackman portrays an honorable man.<br /><br />But the main thing for me was the beautiful countryside and wonderful photography. I watched it one afternoon when I needed to see that. To get an interesting story was a bonus -- and Hugh Jackman, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-50617901863878073502013-09-11T13:22:03.915-04:002013-09-11T13:22:03.915-04:00And to make that downhill ride even more astoundin...And to make that downhill ride even more astounding, Tom Burlinson didn't use a stuntman.

Though in truth, he pretty much ruins all the scenes he's in. (He is so tedious.) Still, I enjoyed the rest of the film, most especially the riding. :) I can understand why this might be a favorite in Australia.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-67793688268123916852013-09-10T12:18:42.706-04:002013-09-10T12:18:42.706-04:00Always liked this movie.

A charming tribute to it was during the opening ceremonies of the Sydney Olympics in 2000 when a re-enacted ride of "jackeroos" (cowboys) poured into the stadium with the score of this movie as their background. At the climax, they threw their hats into the crowd. This movie is a beloved classic in Australia.Jacqueline T.
