...the film's lack of plot never becomes as pronounced as one might've feared...
02/04/07
This sprawling saga of Aussie nomads in the 1920s is directed by Zinnemann with his customary tamed discipline and human realism, elevated by the solid ensemble, with particularly strong turns from Mitchum, Deborah Kehr, Peter Ustinov and Glynis Johns
12/02/06
Zinnemann's customary care for detail pays occasional dividends, but the film goes on rather too long.

What is nice about these people and valid about this film, is that they have an abundance of freshness, openness and vitality.
