Drama
In the Australian Outback, the Carmody family--Paddy, Ida and their teenage son Sean--are sheep drovers, always on the move. Ida and Sean want to settle down and buy a farm. Paddy wants to keep moving. A sheep-shearing contest, the birth of a child, drinking, gambling and a race horse will all have a part in the final decision.

TV Guide | "Big, funny, tender and humane all at the same time, The Sundowners is a true 'family' film, without any of the cloying connotations of that term." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"It is Zinnemann's poetic glances into the souls of his characters, little hints of deep longings, hidden despairs, indomitable spirit that make the picture the achievement it is." | POS |
|
United States |
IndieWire | "A remarkably effective and absorbing picture (if a little too long), with another sterling performance from Mitchum." | POS |
United Kingdom |
Time Out | "Zinnemann's customary care for detail pays occasional dividends, but the film goes on rather too long." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Though the story builds slowly (and the first half may seem a little pokey), the characters are more red-blooded and vigorous and eccentric than in most other Zinnemann films." | POS |
