Home from the Hill

Description: Home from the Hill [DVD] Product Overview Format: DVD January 23, 2007 Home from the Hill (DVD)Robert Mitchum stars as the iron- fisted patriarch whose family must confront their secrets when his philandering comes back to haunt them.> Home from the Hill is among the underrated titles in the careers of Robert Mitchum and Vincente Minnelli, two disparate talents who create a potent familial saga here. The setting is East Texas, where Mitchum's philandering patriarch rules the local area. His wife (Eleanor Parker) has raised their son (George Hamilton) as a momma's boy, the kind of soft kid who gets bamboozled into going on a "snipe hunt" with the pranking locals. His opposite number is a manly farmhand (George Peppard) with his own bond with Mitchum. Southern melodrama thrives in such a setting, and the film doesn't avoid all the traps, but Minnelli suffuses the movie with the same emotional effects of color and movement that he brought to his direction of musicals. Minnelli's sensitivity and Mitchum's strength carry the movie, but the secret weapon is the unexpectedly good work from the two Georges, both of whom were at the beginning of their careers. (You can see from this film that Peppard is a dead-cert to become a major movie star, which he almost did--but then didn't, for a variety of reasons.) The film was shot on location around Paris, Texas, and although this is far from Minnelli's An American in Paris, the exciting hunting sequences are solid proof that you can't pigeonhole a talented director. You can't pigeonhole Mitchum, either, and this is one of his best roles. --Robert Horton Details Genre: Drama Format: Multiple Formats, Color, Dubbed, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen, Closed-captioned Contributor: George Hamilton, Edmund Grainger, William Humphrey, Constance Ford, Anne Seymour, Vincente Minnelli, Irving Ravetch, Luana Patten, Robert Mitchum, Harriet Frank, Jr., Eleanor Parker, Sol C.
