The Man from Snowy River	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Man from Snowy River is a 1982 film based on the Banjo Paterson poem of the same name, set in Australia in the late 1800s. It tells the story of the title character, Jim Craig, a stockman from the Snowy Mountains whose dreams of making his living breeding horses are put on hold when the death of his father and the loss of his broodmare to a herd of wild horses (called "brumbies") force him to descend to the lowlands to work as a hired hand on a cattle ranch owned by the wealthy Harrison.In the process, Jim meets and falls for Harrison's rebellious daughter Jessica, and faces prejudice from both Harrison and the other hired hands over his mountain origins. When Harrison's prized colt is set loose to join the brumbies and Jim is blamed for it, he joins the group of stockmen organized by Harrison to chase the herd down, in order to prove his innocence and his worth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film stars Tom Burlinson as Jim Craig, Sigrid Thornton as Jessica Harrison, and Kirk Douglas in the dual roles of Harrison and Harrison's crippled brother Spur; it features a score by Bruce Rowland and a lot of impressive Australian scenery.A sequel was released in 1988, titled The Man from Snowy River II in Australia and released as Return to Snowy River in the US. The sequel picks up Jim's story upon his return to the Snowy River region and deals with his efforts to get his horse-breeding business off the ground and resume his relationship with Jessica, who now has a competing suitor in the person of a banker's son, Alistair Patton. Kirk Douglas did not reprise his role as Spur and Harrison, and was replaced in the latter role by Brian Dennehy.The films inspired a spinoff TV series, Banjo Paterson's The Man from Snowy River (Snowy River: The McGregor Saga in the US), which focuses on a different cast of characters in the same general setting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

The Man from Snowy River / int_12040009	type	No Accounting for Taste
The Man from Snowy River / int_12040009	comment	No Accounting for Taste: Arguably Matilda to Harrison. When faced with two brothers vying for her hand, she decided to marry the first one to get rich instead of choosing based on, you know, personality, compatibility, etc. This came back to bite her when she learned just what her new husband was really like. Somewhat justified in that in those days, women were expected to marry the best provider, with their feelings rather secondary.

Harrison as well,as in the poem and the film he's explicitly mentioned as having "made his pile when Pardon won the Cup", which is from Patterson's poem "Pardon, the Son of Reprieve."

The Man from Snowy River / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: The original poem is about rounding up the Brumbies and recovering Harrison's lost colt; this takes place at the climax of the first film, with the rest of the screen-time being used to establish the characters and expand the story. A backstory for Harrison (only alluded to in the poem) was created, giving him a daughter and a brother, as well as a connection to the mysterious stallion who leads the mob of wild horses. Clancy makes an appearance in the poem but his presence was expanded on, making him a close friend of Harrison's, and giving him a connection to Spur and Jim. Most importantly, The Man from Snowy River himself became a real person with a reason and motivation to make the climatic ride.

It seems she was the most exciting part of their lives.

When Jim is not sufficiently grateful for Jessica's offer not to tell her father that he almost lost/injured the valuable colt, she retorts, "You are a foolish boy, Jim." After Harrison strikes Jessica, Rosemary calls him out on caring more about the colt's well-being than his own daughter's, and calls him out on still suspecting (wrongly) that Jessica isn't his. When Jim tells Harrison that he loves Jessica and Harrison rebukes him for wanting to drag a Proper Lady like Jessica into poverty, Jim retorts that Harrison isn't the only one who can make something out of nothing; he's got plans for his own place. And finally, the crown jewel has to be Spur to Harrison:

The Man from Snowy River / int_a1b141f4	comment	My God, What Have I Done?: Implied to be Matilda's reaction regarding her marriage to Harrison, after he shot Spur. She had decided to marry the first brother to make his fortune, but only after the wedding did she realize just how violently jealous, possessive, and controlling her new husband was.

Believes that his daughter Jessica being so spirited is just to get back at him instead of a genuine desire to make her own decisions regarding her life, is enraged to learn that Jim nearly got killed trying to ride after the mob because it could have cost him a valuable colt, believes his own visions of grandeur are the only ones anyone can make, and of course believes he alone deserves sympathy for blowing off Spur's leg because it turned Matilda and Jessica against him.

He finally wises up late in the second film, but only after being severely and repeatedly burned by the Pattons junior and senior.

In the first film, Jim gets laughed out of the room when he tries to tell the other ranch hands that his father was mates with Clancy. When Clancy arrives at the ranch the next day, he greets Jim by name and tells him he was sorry to hear about his father's death. The other ranch hands are suitably embarrassed and refuse to meet Jim's gaze.
