Kirk Douglas plays two characters in The Man from Snowy River (1982). Harrison is the tetchy farm owner and father of Jessica (Sigrid Thornton), while Spur (pictured here) is his one-legged brother.
Spur is an outsider, seeking his fortune in a goldmine and turning up at key moments in the film to offer words of wisdom.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
