Kirk Douglas plays two characters in The Man from Snowy River (1982). Harrison is the tetchy farm owner and father of Jessica (Sigrid Thornton), while Spur (pictured here) is his one-legged brother.

Spur is an outsider, seeking his fortune in a goldmine and turning up at key moments in the film to offer words of wisdom.
