Wonderful scenery of Australia (where it was filmed) and a delightful story of a family moving sheep across the country. Ida, the wife, and her son want to settle down and buy a house. Paddy, the husband, likes the freedom of living off the land, sleeping in a tent and spending what money they have on beer and gambling. Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr are the stars and they are absolutely perfect in the roles. Their great working relationship reflects the fact that - in reality - they were very good friends. Peter Ustinov and Glynis Johns are superb in their supporting roles. This movie resulted in Deborah Kerr's 6th Academy Award nomination. Unfortunately, she did not win though she really deserved the Oscar. I loved this film.
