The Sundowners 1960 Movie Review
Set in Australia this movie about Sundowners stars Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum and Peter Ustinov
The Sundowners is a 1960 Technicolor comedy-drama[5] film that tells the story of a 1920s Australian outback family torn between the father's desires to continue his nomadic sheep-herding ways and the wife and son's desire to settle in one place. The Sundowners was produced and directed by Fred Zinnemann, adapted by Isobel Lennart from Jon Cleary's 1952 novel of the same name, with Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum, and Peter Ustinov, Glynis Johns, Mervyn Johns, Dina Merrill, Michael Anderson Jr., and Chips Rafferty.[6][2]
In 2019, FilmInk cited it among "50 meat pie Westerns".[7][8]
At the 33rd Academy Awards, it was in the running for Best Picture, and Kerr was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role, Johns for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Zinnemann for Best Director, and Lennart for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium, with no Academy wins.
Plot
Irish-Australian Paddy Carmody (Robert Mitchum) is a sheep drover and shearer, roving the sparsely populated outback with his wife Ida (Deborah Kerr) and son Sean (Michael Anderson, Jr.).[2] They are sundowners, constantly moving, pitching their tent whenever the sun goes down. Ida and Sean want to settle, but Paddy has wanderlust and never wants to stay in one place for long. While passing through the bush, the family meet refined Englishman Rupert Venneker (Peter Ustinov) and hire him to help drive a large herd of sheep to the town of Cawndilla. Along the way, they survive a dangerous bushfire.
Mrs. Firth (Glynis Johns), who runs the pub in Cawndilla, takes a liking to Rupert. He takes to spending nights with her, but like Paddy, he has no desire to be tied down.
Ida convinces Paddy to take a job at a station shearing sheep; she serves as the cook, Rupert as a wool roller, and Sean as a tar boy. Ida enjoys the company of Jean Halstead (Dina Merrill), their employer's lonely wife. When fellow shearer Bluey Brown's (John Meillon) pregnant wife Liz (Lola Brooks) arrives unannounced, she sees the young woman through her first birth.
Ida is saving the money the family earns for a down payment on a farm that they stayed at for a night on the sheep drive. Although Paddy has agreed to participate in a shearing contest against someone from a rival group, he decides to leave six weeks into the shearing season. Ida persuades him to stay. He loses the contest to an old veteran.
Paddy wins a lot of money and a racehorse playing two-up. Owning such an animal has been his longstanding dream. They name him Sundowner and enter him, with Sean as his jockey, at local races on their travels after the shearing is done. Sean and Sundowner win their first race.
Ida finally convinces a still reluctant Paddy to buy the farm on which Sean and she have their hearts set, but he loses all the money Ida saved in a single night of playing two-up. By way of apology, he tells her that he has found a buyer for Sundowner if he wins the next race. The money would recoup their down payment. Although Sundowner wins, he is disqualified for interference, and the deal falls through. Nevertheless, Paddy's deep remorse heals the breach with Ida, and they resolve to save enough to buy a farm one day.

Production
Fred Zinnemann decided to make the film at the suggestion of Dorothy Hammerstein, the Australian-born, second wife of Oscar Hammerstein II.[1] She intended to send him a copy of the novel The Shiralee (later filmed with Peter Finch), but accidentally sent a copy of The Sundowners. He immediately bought the screen rights and decided to produce it himself.[9] According to Zinnemann's autography, Aaron Spelling was signed to write the screenplay, but was replaced by Isobel Lennart;[1] another source states the screenplay was mostly written by Jon Cleary in spite of Lennart's screen credit.[10] The ending of the film was a tribute to John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.[11] Gary Cooper was hired to play Paddy Carmody, but had to leave due to poor health. He was replaced by Robert Mitchum, who agreed to work on the film for a chance to appear with Deborah Kerr, with whom he had become good friends while making Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison. He also agreed to give her top billing, joking to the production team that they could "design a 24-foot sign of me bowing to her if you like".[12] Michael Anderson, Jr. was imported from England to play their son.[13]
Zinnemann was determined to film The Sundowners on location and vetoed Jack L. Warner's plan to shoot in Arizona or near Dallas, Texas to save money.[14] Interiors were shot at Associated British Picture Corporation Elstree Studios in England;[1][15] exteriors were shot in Australia in Carriewerloo, Cooma, Hawker, Iron Knob, Jindabyne, Nimmitabel, Port Augusta, Quorn, and Whyalla.[1][12] The "for-sale" property in the film was called Hiawatha and was on the Snowy River, just north of Old Jindabyne (now under the waters of Lake Jindabyne).[16]
Filming began in 1959.[17] Zinnemann spent 12 weeks filming scenery and sheep droving before the cast arrived in October. The weather made location filming difficult, fluctuating from hot and humid to cold and rainy. This delayed production by several weeks and caused some irritation among the cast and crew. Mitchum was often harassed by fans and eventually moved onto a boat to avoid them. Filming wrapped on 17 December 1959.[12] A number of Australian actors appeared in the supporting cast.[18]
Ray Austin was the stunt coordinator. Nicolas Roeg, who later directed films such as Walkabout, was a second unit camera operator.[19]
Reception
When the movie premiered at the Radio City Music Hall, Bosley Crowther of The New York Times called the film an "especially appropriate entertainment for the Christmas holidays"; according to Crowther:[2]
What is nice about these people and valid about this film, is that they have an abundance of freshness, openness, and vitality. The action scenes are dynamic—the scenes of driving sheep, shearing them, racing horses at a genuine 'bush country' track, and simply living happily in the great sky-covered outdoors. And the scenes of human involvements—those between the husband and the wife, of a woman having a baby, of a footloose housewife looking at a stove—are deeply and poignantly revealing of how good and sensitive people can be.
The Sundowners, marketed as a "newer version" of From Here to Eternity, was a financial failure in the United States.[12] The film reached the top 10 at the UK box office and was the third-highest grossing film of 1961 in Australia.[20]

Sophia Loren and Eleonora Brown in Two Women.
Two Women (La ciociara) proved to worldwide audiences that Sophia Loren was much more than just a beautiful face and curvaceous figure. Her performance as the young mother in wartime Italy earned accolades around the globe and stands as an example of some of the most indelible and powerful screen-acting of the 20th Century. In addition to being the first person to win an Oscar (Best Actress of 1961) for a role in a foreign language film she received Italy’s David for Best Actress, The BAFTA for Best Foreign Actress and the Best Actress Award at Cannes, among others.
This is a highly personal war story as seen through the experiences of mother and daughter. Sophia Loren was only 25 at the time but she convincingly plays Cesira, the mother of a 13 year old girl. A 12 year old Eleonora Brown made her movie debut as Rosetta, the daughter. Their relationship is at the heart of the story as they wander through the war-torn, and extremely perilous, Italian countryside together. Acclaimed director Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief) does a superb job at recreating and conveying the apocalyptic atmosphere of this landscape ravaged by war.
The story is quite simple but emotionally riveting. Its theme is loss of innocence. When the movie begins bombs are raining down on Rome near the grocery store Cesira inherited after her husband’s death. We learn that she married a much older man to escape a life of poverty in the hills. In a scene that would never have made it past American censors at the time, she has a casual sexual encounter with a married friend before fleeing the city with her daughter. Cesira plans on returning to the village of her birth to wait out the war.
After arriving at their destination they encounter an idealistic young man named Michele, played by Jean-Paul Belmondo. Rosetta experiences her first crush on the noble and pure-hearted young intellectual. The war soon follows them to this remote village when German soldiers arrive and take Michele along as a guide at gunpoint. When news reaches them of Mussolini’s arrest and the arrival of Allied soldiers, Cesira and Rosetta begin the journey back to Rome.
Along the way Cesira and Rosetta stop to rest in an abandoned, gutted church. They are set upon and brutally gang-raped by a group of Moroccan soldiers in a scene that will resonate long after the movie is over. The look of stupefied terror that comes over Rosetta is chilling. You know this child will never be the same. She has learned the facts of life – and witnessed man’s cruelty - in the most horrifying way imaginable. The moment where Cesira (in her torn dress and disheveled hair) cradles her severely traumatized daughter is an iconic image in screen history (see photo).
Later when mother and daughter are back on the road they encounter several American officers in a jeep. Cesira blocks their path in the road and cries out, “Do you know what they have done those "heroes" that you command? Do you know what your great soldiers have done in a holy church under the eyes of the madonna? Do you know?” One of the officers says, “Peace, peace.” In a voice dripping with venom, Cesira replies, “Yes, peace, beautiful peace! You ruined my little daughter forever! Now she's worse than dead. No, I'm not mad, I'm not mad! Look at her! And tell me if I am mad! Rotten crazy bastards!” She then falls to her knees in the dirt while shaking a clenched fist at the soldiers as they continue heedlessly on their way. It is another iconic screen moment.
The denouement is heartbreaking. Rosetta can never regain her lost innocence, which she blames her mother for. As the title suggests she has been forced into womanhood before her time. The final shot, as the camera slowly pulls back from mother and daughter, will linger in your consciousness long after the word Fine disappears from the screen.
[4 star[s] out of 4]

Although throughout history women have been, at times, forced to be the family provider, it is traditionally a burden accepted by fathers and husbands. This was exemplified in The Bicycle Thief, where a married father goes to great lengths for a job whose income will help his family. Having a spouse and child makes a man vulnerable. A married woman is not so vulnerable, but a single mother is.
1940s Italy was a very sexist time and place. The Italian soldiers talk down to Cesira. A man on the train stares down her shirt. You may think this a bad thing, but the buxom Cesira makes it work in her favor when she wants it to. She married an older man because he had a business. She had a lover who gave her coal and a bottle of wine, as well as sexual comfort. Men on every side of the war take notice of her looks. Michele falls in love with her and helps her find food in a nearby German occupied village. She is vulnerable but she has what nature gave her to help her through it.
Her sexuality helped her at times, but it also proved to make her and her daughter extremely unprotected in a world at war. The rape scene, although not extremely graphic, is horrific. The look on the girl's face as well as the one on Cesira's are heart breaking. I am not sure who suffered more, the innocent daughter or the mother who has to carry the guilt to her grave. As the German film A Woman in Berlin (2008) showed, their fate was an unfortunate common one.
As Patrick wrote, this is an amazing performance by Sophia Loren. It is also a very personal one. She was a child in Italy, living in poverty during World War II. She did not know her father well, as her mother was his mistress as he was married to another woman. Like Cesira, Sophia married an older man, producer Carlo Ponti, who discovered her at 14 at a beauty contest. Just older than Rosetta.

Breakfast At Tiffany's 1961 Movie Review
An entertaining comedy starring the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard
Breakfast at Tiffany's
US (1961): Drama
115 min,
Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly is a tad refined for a girl who lives so improvisationally (on the money men give her), but for about the first three-quarters of an hour, this picture, directed by Blake Edwards, has a fair amount of sophisticated slapstick comedy, especially at a cocktail party that ranks with the best screen parties of the era. If you've read the Truman Capote novella that the movie is based on (and even if you haven't) you may be dismayed to see things go soft and romantic. The film wanders, and Hepburn is forced to become too frail and too enchantingly raffish before it comes to its makeshift, fairy-tale end. The madcap Holly, with her attachment to a writer (George Peppard) whose apartment is just below hers, is, of course, very similar to Sally Bowles with her Isherwood, except that the setting here is New York not Berlin. Patricia Neal is amusing in the rather impenetrable role of an interior decorator who appears to be a lesbian but is also keeping Peppard. (It may be wise not to let the mind linger too long over that.) Mickey Rooney does a wild bit of racial caricature as the Japanese photographer who lives in the apartment above Holly's; it's the most low-down and daring thing in the movie. The cast includes Buddy Ebsen, John McGiver, Martin Balsam, Jos�-Luis de Villalonga, and Gil Lamb. The script is by George Axelrod; the cinematography is by Franz Planer; the song "Moon River" is by Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini; Hepburn's clothes are by Givenchy and Neal's are by Pauline Trigere. Paramount.
