Adaptation du roman best seller de William Humphrey, cette grande saga se focalise sur une riche famille d’une petite ville du Texas : le mari bourru et coureur de jupons (Mitchum) ; sa femme amère et distante (Eleanor Parker) ; le fils faible et introverti, Theron (George Hamilton) ; le viril fils illégitime de Hunnicutt, Rafe (George Peppard) ; et la femme magnifique (Luna Patten) dont les deux garçons sont amoureux. Quand la jeune et influençable Theron apprend l’inavouable vérité sur son père, les sentiments refoulés de la famille explosent, déclenchant un cercle vicieux qui conduira à l’apogée dramatique du film. Salué par la critique, Celui par Qui le Scandale Arrive bénéficie de la réalisation impeccable de Vincente Minnelli et des performances mémorables de jeunes acteurs comme George Hamilton et George Peppard qui font leurs premiers pas sur grand écran. Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Home From The HillThis movie is an older movie, but an absolute must see. It is one of my favorites starring Robert Mitchum. It features a young George Peppard and George Hamilton. Rating:  - another classic gemhavent seen this movie since I was a youngster! It was a pleasure to see that they had redigitalized it, and that the disc was area formatted for Australia. they have very few actors nowadays! that have the qualities that some of the earlier actors display Rating: - Home From The HillThe shipping was extremely quick and the product was as advertised. I gave it as a gift and they loved it. Rating: - Great coming of age classicRobert Mitchum at his finest as a "Man's Man." The tangled web of this Vincent Minnelli classic is the conflicts and camaraderie between the three main characters which have two early career George's (Peppard and Hamilton)showing their future success. This film details a way of life which is rarely seen today but takes the viewer to a simpler is not politically correct time in America. Rating: - Who knew George Hamilton could act?Guess I saw an article about Robert Mitchum in the paper the other day because I find myself with like five of his movies checked out from our library and waiting on top of the tube to be enjoyed. "Home from the HIll" was first. Anyway,it started a little slowly, but quickly developed into a very moving film where you really cared about the characters and what happened to them-rapscallion father (Mitchum), mother (later Maria's adversary in "The Sound of Music"), son Theron (Hamilton) ...
