|---|
In this Western-set-in-Australia, Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr head a family intent upon taming the wild outback (or at least their part of it). It is the struggle of this family who face one obstacle after another (a Down Under story of Job, once again!). The pioneer spirit triumphs once again. Directed by Fred Zinnemann.
