Hammers Over the Anvil on DVD

Set in Australia in the summer of 1910, the film tells the story of 14-year-old Alan Marshall (Alexander Outhread), who stumbles from childhood into the exciting, yet threatening, world of adulthood. Despite the effects of polio, Alan has only one passion in life: to become a great horseman, just like his hero, the reclusive horse trainer East Driscoll (Russell Crowe). Alan is one of East's few friends and also one of the few who know about the affair between East and the aristocratic Englishwoman Grace McAlister (Charlotte Rampling). Things inevitably take a tragic turn when East is determined to force Grace to leave her husband and run away with him. Hammers Over The Anvil is a moving coming-of-age film by Australian director Ann Turner.
