An episodic account of a family of roving sheepherders in Australia. Paddy Carmody (Robert Mitchum) loves being "someone whose home is where the sun goes down," but his wife (Deborah Kerr) and teenage son are tired of the nomadic life and want to settle down. Director Fred Zinnemann (From Here to Eternity) takes a wonderfully laid-back approach to this likable material, emphasizing the refreshingly grown-up relationship between Mitchum and Kerr as well as the stark scenic attractions of Australia--a continent that, in 1960, was still unfamiliar terrain for the movies. Puckish, portly Peter Ustinov provides the lion's share of the comic relief. One of the high points is a sheep-shearing sequence (the normally self-assured Mitchum was so nervous about accidentally harming an animal that he required a few bottles of beer for fortification before shooting the scene). The Sundowners scored five Oscar nominations, including acting nods for Kerr and Glynis Johns, but won none. --Robert Horton

Berit Juhl Pedersen (Frederiksberg, Denmark)
This movie has great actors and excellent pictures from the grandios Australian landscapes. The story is based on a novel by Jon Cleary and gives a realistic picture of a family on the move. Very entertaining, recommendable.

Desert Dude (MESA, ARIZONA, US)
The Sundowners with Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr in the lead roles is a wonderful,family movie that depicts a time gone by in Australia. As an older movie, it has what many modern movies do not - heart, a genuinely good story and a reminder of strong family values. The trend these days is to stay more home-bound, appreciate what we have and learn to make do in tough times. This timeless movie fits perfectly with this trend. It wraps comfortably around you like a warm blanket.

John W. Green (Coffs Harbour,N.S.W. Australia)
Had seen this picture when it was first released in 1960, I was 21 yrs at the time.I enjoyed it then and wanted to have another look all these years later. I was not disapointed as I found it everything that I had remembered. A first rate story, convincing acting and a pretty look at my country and it's ways.For a 50 yr old picture it will hold interest and entertainment for all the family.However being an aussie I may show a little bias.

J. Palumbo (New Hampshire)
The thing I love about Amazon is that I can find 99% of the old movies I once enjoyed and thought were lost forever.
This movie was one I wanted to see again and was so happy to find it. It is a "feel good" kind of movie, has a great cast and we enjoyed watching it.
Great film December 17, 2009
J. Carey (oregon)
This is a wonderful film from top to bottom. Perfect cast and compelling story without anything getting blown up or cheating on their spouse.
This is a story of a family of movers in Australia and their lives as they move from job to job. They have some small adventures and ups and downs but its just a nice story about people who care about each other
