Product Description
Sundowners, The (DVD) It’s tough driving 1,200 sheep across 400 miles of hostile outback. But for drovers Paddy and Ida Carmody and their son, Sean, it’s the only job there is. Poor in possessions, they’re rich in freedom, adventure and love. Four-time Academy Award® winner* Fred Zinnemann directs this warmhearted tale of 1920 Australia. Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr play Paddy and Ida, a devoted couple suddenly at odds. She and Sean (Michael Anderson Jr.) want a farm of their own. But settling down is more than Paddy’s untethered spirit can bear. The Sundowners earned five Oscar® nominations, including Best Picture, won Kerr the New York Film Critics Best Actress Award and made Mitchum the National Board of Review Best Actor choice for this and Home from the Hill. Say g’day to a movie treasure.

In today's world of gun-blazing police tracking down the latest serial killer and movies that try to set records for how many cars they can smash up in ever more inventive ways, this movie stands out as impossibly warm-hearted and simple. It's the story of the Carmody family, itinerant sheep drovers in 1920's Australia, and the only gun in this story is one used to shoot rabbits for the family pot. What makes this movie so watchable are the great and finely nuanced performances by just about all the actors here: Robert Mitchum as a man who can't stand being tied down to one place, but nevertheless recognizes and respects his wife's desire for a permanent home; Deborah Kerr as a strong woman who'll take only so much idiocy from her husband, but who also always finds a way to forgive and understand; Peter Ustinov as a British expatriate who finds the concept of marriage disturbing but is always attracted to the fairer sex; Glynis Johns as the impossibly bright, cheerful, and non-stop chattering pub-owner - each performance is as solid as the hard soil of the Australian sheep country where this was filmed.
The scenery is impressive in its own right, with various indigenous Australian animals each coming in for their own cameo appearances, from kangaroos and koalas to emus and wombats. But the background that really impresses is the portrait of the sheep farming industry itself, from the large flocks of sheep to the shearing sheds to the rough-and-tough men who make their living from the sheep.
There's quite a bit of humor here, much of it provided by Ustinov and Johns, but the thing that sticks, and will cause a possible case of teary-eyed vision, is the relationship between Mitchum and Kerr. This is a marriage that won't fail, a bond much stronger than the vagaries and vicissitudes of life or even their disparate desires for a particular way of life. It's never overplayed, but you can sense the deep chemistry between these two from the opening minutes of the film and it never falls out of sight.
This movie was nominated for five Academy Awards, and though it won none of them, it's almost criminal that this movie has been largely forgotten. Perhaps finally having it available on DVD will rectify that situation.
---Reviewed by Patrick Shepherd (hyperpat)
This truly was a lovely film that is about family and what is means to have a home. One of my favorite scenes was in the beginning when Ida, Paddy and Sean were looking out onto a farm that was for sale. Ida and Sean are longing to be settled and Paddy wanting to continue wandering. Paddy is making excuse after excuse as to why they shouldn't even consider settling and Ida letting him know that she's onto him. The look on Deborah Kerr's face as he's talking to her and she's looking over the fence is absolutely classic. It's one that I've seen in real life with real wives when they are amused with their husbands' b.s.
I have to admit that my jaw dropped towards the end when Paddy told Ida what he'd done to sabotage her dreams. It was one of those scenes that breaks hearts and it was performed beautifully. All in all, a very good movie that I highly recommend.

Deborah Kerr, always maintained this was one of her favourite movies she starred in.
Hard to believe, the beautiful young Deborah in this movie, would have turned 100 years in September.
A noter un autre excellent film de John Huston cette fois ou l'on retrouve les deux principaux protagonistes c'est "Dieux seul le sait" ou "Heaven's know Mr Allison".
