THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS USED TO BEING ENTERTAINED BY SEX & FILTH. THE MAN IS A SPECTACULAR ROMANCE STORY, COUPLED WITH INCREDIBLE SCENERY, & OUTSTANDING HORSEMANSHIP. ONE OF A KIND!!
Many Aussies love the film, as well as the renowned poet, WWI veteran, journalist noted for his composition of the internationally famous song “Waltzing Matilda”, by Banjo Patterson. It's the younger generation that has not heard of the film, unfortunately. If we comment on the video, to bump it up, it is hoped that a more considerable number of viewers will follow suit.
I’m from Utah in the USA, this is my favorite movie of all time. From the first viewing when it came out until today. The score, cinematography, cast chemistry… I’ve watched it dozens of times and listened to the soundtrack who knows how many times. The soundtrack was the first CD I ever bought (new tech then). Anytime I hear any of the music I can see the scenes in my mind. Jim’s ride is one of the greatest scenes in cinema, in my opinion. Thank you for this interview and the stories about production.
WERE YOU AWARE THAT THE SOUNDTRACK WAS USED FOR SEVERAL YEARS BY PGA GOLF AS THEIR BACKGROUND SOUNDTRACK WHEN PGA TOUR TOURNEYS STARTED DURING THE WEEKENDS.
The Man from Snowy River is a great coming of age movie. The ride chasing the Brombys is the most amazing ride, then you see him jump off the edge of the cliff, and ride down the mountainside. MAGICAL❤
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
I've loved The Man From Snowy River since the day it premiered. 43 yrs later, my love for the movie is still strong, although I'm left feeling emotional due to the Government's culling, and removing the Brumbies from the High Country and the bush.
I remember when my dad brought this movie home for the first time for us to watch. I was a very young horse-crazy girl. I fell in love with The Man from Snowy River that day. I learned to play Jessica’s Theme on the piano and can’t even say how many times people asked me to play it for them throughout my life. I even played it in a recital my senior year. What an amazing movie and what a score indeed!❤❤❤❤ It’s unbelievable that Tom wasn’t a life long rider. Incredible!!!! What an amazing job he did!
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 was 32 - a lifetime horse owner & trained several for myself and other people. THAT movie was great, and that clip was FANTASTIC. ETA, I now have what will be my last horse, however long he lives. We're both elderly. 😊
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.
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
I’m almost 43 and I have both of the dvds too and it’s my favorite movie too. I live in Mexico and you ever come here to chihuahua we can’t watch it together!
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.
Truly one of the greatest movies ever made. And second to none, best Australian movies ever made. The best music score, the best Australian historic poem put to film, landscape scenery, and horsemanship ever seen on a screen... Makes me proud to be a Aussie of seventh generation, and look forward to my grandchildren feeling the same pride. Simply the best all round...🎉❤
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.
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!!!
I've ridden mountain horses in western saddle but can't imagine riding them in English saddle. Never heard of the outback saddle. I need to research them. Give the horse his head and he'll take you up or down in safety...Sue from Arizona
Yeah, those are great saddles, keep you pretty secure. But my artful bucker figured out he could pop us straight UP out of ours, so it's still possible to part ways with your horse!
Well thank you, that was a great interview. The horse over the cliff scene took me back to also leaning back into my cinema seat and grabbing onto the arm rests. Australiana at its best. The soundtrack, aaah yes that music. How young and innocent we were.
Oh ... I so loved, and still love this glorious, glorious movie. Thank you for bringing back such exciting and moving memories. It has lost NONE of it's magic. The story, the scenes, the landscapes, the dialogue, the actors ... NO AI ... this tells a true, moving, heart warming story that stirs the blood and still makes my heart beat faster. Thank you.
Those Aussies sure can ride! I love both movies, still thrilling after dozens of views. You will see the Lovett family in the credits for many movies involving horses. Standing ovation to the cinematography as well, just breathtaking.
WOW.. Has it REALLY been 42 years since that movie was released, I remember it like it was yesterday..LOVED it, BEST Movie Ever 😳 I remember seeing it in the theater, I Could hardly wait for it to be released..
This is in my top 5 favorite movies!!! A sarcastic friend swore that the over the cliff scene was shot on level ground, I just bit my tongue! Look at the TREES! She doesn't believe we've put a man on the moon either! Some college education there!
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!
When Banjo 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.
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!
I saw this in Enumclaw, Washington, USA, in 1983 when I was thirteen, and never loved a movie so much before…or since. Dad took me to see it one more time before it left the movie theater. I grieved when it did go. When VHS came out a few years later and I got to see it again, it felt like a miracle. The cinematography, the music, the screenplay, the acting, the costumes, sets, and horses… all of it was perfection.
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!!!
@@indigocheetah4172 We learned after seeing it several times to watch the last race and turn it off. If we were showing it to someone who hadn't seen it yet, we'd slip out of the room after the last race. I wondered how much Snowy River might have contributed to Burlinson getting that part In Phar Lap. He was so good and natural in that it cemented my erroneous belief that he was a lifelong horseman.
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.
I first saw this film on the big screen in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1982 or 83. I bet I've watched it a hundred times, or more, by now. The soundtrack is on my Spotify playlist. It's in my top 5 favorite list, along with Lonesome Dove, Unforgiven, Rooster Cogburn, and I grew up on a farm and ranch where I was quite familiar with horses but we didn't use bullwhips or stockwhips back then. These days, I'm an old hand with horses, cattle and a stockwhip and have plaited a couple of my own. Still love both Snowy River movies, but the 1st is my favorite. The riding still impresses me.
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
Last night I dusted off my DVDs and watched both Snowy River movies. Love these movies and the scenes with riding the horse down the mountain is still breathtaking.
Growing up in Arizona in the 60s and 70s, always worshipped cowboy culture and the Rodeo. This movie came out the year I graduated college. It is a gift to the world to see up close by camera , man and horse in sync. Breathtaking riding.
Loved the interview and loved the movie! One of my all-time favorites from 'way back. Kirk Douglas was one of my very favorite actors (fell in love with Spartacus as a teenager!). Unbelievable to learn that Tom did that ride himself. Wow. What guts!! Reminded me of Ralph Moody's taking on horse fall rides in Wickenburg in early movie days. Thanks for doing this.
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. ;)
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😊😊😊😊
Hello here a fan from chihuahua Mexico, this movie was out on 82 the same years I was born , I saw when I was very young , we even had the videocassette then it passed lots of time then I found the dvd in the 2000s , I can’t remember how more times I have watch it, the score the acting the story, and Denny I loveeed that horse.I need the 2006 dvd release with the wedding part of the return of snowy river ❤❤❤❤
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.
One of my favorite movies! Gave me the chills when he went over the side of the mountain! Brilliant movie! I still watch it occasionally, I have the dvd!
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
What an absolutely *AMAZING* movie, and those who Acted in it, and RODE IN IT, deserve every ounce of respect! The music score is a class all its own, and when you put it all together? :: Chef-kisses! :: As an American, who grew up on a working ranch, and rode for many years (Mostly working class, some barrel racing/lasso'ing Events, but nothing 'Professional/Career'), seeing that downhill run had me literally clawing the theater arm rests! Bravo! Bravo!! BRAVO!!!
1-20-2025 Wow, what a treat this randomly showed up in my feed tonight as I was planning to pull up the YT of the "down the mountain" scene. If I can't watch the whole movie I get my fix that way. Thank you, and thank you Mr. Burlinson for the interview. I had heard you could sing, now I have to look up your music endeavors!
Lovely to hear from you, NavvyMom! It was such a privilege to interview Tom and he's as wonderful as he seems! Like the movie! Unforgettable!! So glad you enjoyed! Ian, Sydney
Amazing movie that I've always remembered from my childhood! My dad was a horseman growing up and during some of his adult life, so Man From Snowy River was a movie we saw right away!
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.
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.
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
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.
One of the best movies.i,watch it a few times or more every year here in California. I prefer akubras over our American hats.just out in the rain today with my outback slicker and bushman hat ending to the horsesand thinking about this movie.thanks for the interview with Tom
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.
Still my favorite movie of all time. That ride…as a horseman, it is the ultimate. When out on the trail I imagine going down that mountain on my surefooted little mare but know I’d never have the guts.

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.

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
I get chills every time I watch it... And I'm a life long equestrian! It truly was epic in every sense of the word.
Amen

It’s amazing that Tom Burlinson did not know how to ride horses before this movie. He was amazing.
Same! He sure learned fast. Mission accomplished on making it look like he'd been around them all his life. And more of the same in Phar Lap.
This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. Still in my top 10. Love the horsemanship

Great riding and cinematography. Great movie.
Plus the position of the horse. No way a horse can move that way on a flat surface.
Fantastic movie. Great horse, great rider, beautiful music.

How does it feel on a steep descent? I love the scene as the ride is exactly as Bango Patterson describes it in his poem.
@indigocheetah4172 very secure due to the way the design fits the horse as well as the rider.
Stock saddles are great

Thank you for sharing this interview with us. Still one of my favorite films from my childhood and I’ve watched dozens of times. ❤
Thank you for this interview with Tom!
Tom Burleson also did the movie Phar Lap! Another excellent one!
This movie is LEGENDARY!!!!
It so is!! Couldn’t agree more!!
One of the best modern western movies of all time
Wonderful to see Tom again. Blessings from Colorado.
Epic scene.
When Banjo 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.
WOW!❤
@@marilynmonroe6130 a fantastic poem with Jim, and his horses ride.
Please, it's Banjo, not Bango. Paterson.
@@NavvyMom thank you, my mistake.
@@indigocheetah4172 No worries. You can always blame auto correct. 😉
I thought you rode horses all your life. I grew up riding and it isn't that dangerous knowing what you're doing. You were
Perfect
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
O, I remember Phar Lap as well!❤
Still my favorite movie of all time! It's my go to when i need to feel what The Man From Snowy River was is...
Love you Tom Burlinson! Legend
Beats every stunt Tom Cruise ever did
Hear! Hear!
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
One of my favorites still!

It's on Netflix, or on one of the streaming servers.
Have you seen Phar Lap?
@@NavvyMom I have, indeed. Phar Lap was a considerable horse. His mount is in Victoria, and his large, beautiful heart in the Anatomy of Australia.
@@indigocheetah4172 We learned after seeing it several times to watch the last race and turn it off. If we were showing it to someone who hadn't seen it yet, we'd slip out of the room after the last race.

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!

Wasn't there a stunt man that did part of the ride too?
@@Qwijebo From what Tom told me, only minimal - Tom is the main rider in that sequence.
This movie was the reason I finally got an Australian saddle!!! THANK YOU 🐎
Haha it influenced me and my sister as well.
American here! Wish I could buy a DVD of Pharlap.
Australian here. Should be able to find one on Amazon. 😁
This is so good and the way that Tom nails Kirk's voice is brilliant
Jim brought us all on his amazing adventure! Thank you Tom!!❤
Last night I dusted off my DVDs and watched both Snowy River movies. Love these movies and the scenes with riding the horse down the mountain is still breathtaking.
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!
Growing up in Arizona in the 60s and 70s, always worshipped cowboy culture and the Rodeo. This movie came out the year I graduated college. It is a gift to the world to see up close by camera , man and horse in sync. Breathtaking riding.
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!
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.
Loved the interview and loved the movie! One of my all-time favorites from 'way back. Kirk Douglas was one of my very favorite actors (fell in love with Spartacus as a teenager!).

I haven't seen this movie in decades! Now I have to watch it and it'll be like seeing it for the first time. Yahooooo!🐎
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😊😊😊😊
Tom Burlison is one of my favorite actors! This movie and Phar Lap are 2 of my most favorite movies!
Beautiful movie and score❣I've adored for all these years.
I so agree with you!! Simply magnificent music!!
I had the privilege of seeing this movie in the movie theater and still to this day and is my favorite movie of all time ! Absolutely amazing movie.
This movie holds such memories for me - spectacular.
wow this Movie is on my TOP 5 LIST, this ole granny just loves the freedom and beauty the whole movie presents. My go to for relaxation!
I LOVE these movies! I know Ian Wagstaff!!! Soooo cool!!
Hello here a fan from chihuahua Mexico, this movie was out on 82 the same years I was born , I saw when I was very young , we even had the videocassette then it passed lots of time then I found the dvd in the 2000s , I can’t remember how more times I have watch it, the score the acting the story, and Denny I loveeed that horse.I need the 2006 dvd release with the wedding part of the return of snowy river ❤❤❤❤
One of my top 3 movies of all time and by far the best romantic movie for sure. LOVE the music, horse, and chemistry between Sigrid and Tom!!!
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.
One of my favorite movies! Gave me the chills when he went over the side of the mountain! Brilliant movie! I still watch it occasionally, I have the dvd!
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
I still love this movie. I named one of my mules "Den" after that buckskin.
It was and will remain the most amazing film of all time!
What an absolutely *AMAZING* movie, and those who Acted in it, and RODE IN IT, deserve every ounce of respect! The music score is a class all its own, and when you put it all together? :: Chef-kisses! ::
As an American, who grew up on a working ranch, and rode for many years (Mostly working class, some barrel racing/lasso'ing Events, but nothing 'Professional/Career'), seeing that downhill run had me literally clawing the theater arm rests! Bravo! Bravo!! BRAVO!!!
1-20-2025 Wow, what a treat this randomly showed up in my feed tonight as I was planning to pull up the YT of the "down the mountain" scene. If I can't watch the whole movie I get my fix that way.
Thank you, and thank you Mr. Burlinson for the interview. I had heard you could sing, now I have to look up your music endeavors!
Lovely to hear from you, NavvyMom! It was such a privilege to interview Tom and he's as wonderful as he seems! Like the movie! Unforgettable!! So glad you enjoyed! Ian, Sydney
Amazing movie that I've always remembered from my childhood! My dad was a horseman growing up and during some of his adult life, so Man From Snowy River was a movie we saw right away!
One of my faves❤🎉😅
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.
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.
Favorite movie of all time!
Love that movie that horse part going down hill was awesome
Loooovvvveee these two movies!❤❤
Yes, they're simply wonderful! Agreed!
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.
Awesome, l still have both movies. ❤🇨🇦👍
Great film, I remember seeing it - and loving it - when it first came out all those years ago. Glad I stumbled on this interview. Thanks.
The movies and Tom have been and will always be favorites
Totally agree! And Tom will be so pleased to read this!
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
One of the best movies.i,watch it a few times or more every year here in California. I prefer akubras over our American hats.just out in the rain today with my outback slicker and bushman hat ending to the horsesand thinking about this movie.thanks for the interview with Tom
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.
Still my favorite movie of all time. That ride…as a horseman, it is the ultimate. When out on the trail I imagine going down that mountain on my surefooted little mare but know I’d never have the guts.
I don't think the movie would have worked without that horse ride. It was the climax of the poem, and the point of the movie.
its one of my favorite movies! 😭
Jessica's Theme still makes me cry to this day ❤
I totally get that! It’s a beautiful piece of music, from a glorious score! Ian
Fabulous
It was so good because horse and rider trusted each other!
Great movie.
