Passaggio di notte

The men in the movie couldn't understand McKay because he wouldn't play by their set of rules. Let's put him on Ol Thunder so we can laugh and jeer at him. McKay: "No, thanks. " McKay wasn't lost because he could read a compass and navigate with the stars. " You're a liar, " says Leech. And so it goes...

One of those underappreciated Western, Burl Ives was tremendous as usual and I have a soft spot for Carroll Baker !

One of my all time favorite music pieces from Jerome Moross with 3 variations in The Big Country....he would use similar music in the Jawhawkers with Jeff Chandler and Fess Parker but this pieces is the buildup to the Terrels v Hanassays!!

I put this on KZfaq a million years ago and I mucho appreciate all the positive comments you guys have added to it. They just don't make westerns like this anymore - no, it's all shoot 'em ups today, instead of story. And music today - yuk! It's like you can't wait to get out of the grocery store, right? But I enjoy getting e-mails from people with 3 digit IQs, so if ya wanta send me one, have at it. And by the way, the year is 2022 right now, so if it's like 2036 when you reply, I'll be long gone.

Jerome Moross, in my opinion, is not given enough attention for his musical scoring like Dmitri Tiomkin, Elmer Bernstein, Alfred and Lionel Newman, to name four composers. But, for sheer listening and admiration, this will go down as Moross' finest hour, scoring The Big Country. Some of that ability was also used for some television westerns, as well. What a contributor to the genre of cinema soundtracking.

Portland has been my home for the past 7 years. The old port is truly beautiful, reminds me of Europe, where I came from!

My favorite western and their were many.

A great Civil war leader and a man who earned the respect from his troops.

Lords? When ?

I used to love going through christmas tree lane as a kid!

Utterly timeless and magnificent as was the film.

This still gives me the chills and I cried when watching this even though I know she is ok. I guess they are just happy tears because I'm so glad she's ok.

thanks for posting

Does anyone know what music is playing when Jessica is brought up from the shaft?

God i cant believe this will be 30 years ago next year. Amazing story, happy ending but tragic too - paramedic's suicide a few years later

What sick people dislike this smfh

I've just watched the movie on TV for the first time in 25 years - still so difficult even knowing the wonderful outcome.

A similar story happened in Italy in 1981, a child of six year old named Alfredo fell into a well near Rome but he unfortunately died

I remember the TV footage of this rescue. Emotional then, and now.

I watched the actual movie when I was very young and I've never forgotten it. Many years of searching and I've finally found it again. Thank you for putting this footage up. GOD bless "Baby Jessica" wherever she is today.

3 years later and I still come back for more, mind you I do like only after dark by tito and tarantula has the same effect ie a classic

ياروحي يالمى الروقي

She was a baby you moron!!!

la vi a finales de los 80´s O EN 1990 YA NO LO RECUERDO CON EXACTITUD.SOLO SÉ QUE ME IMPACTÓ MUCHÍSIMO.UNA HISTORIA REAL POR CIERTO.NOS DEJA MUCHAS ENSEÑANZAS.A PREVENIR Y CUIDARA NUESTROS NIÑOS PEQUEÑOS.

I remember watching this live.

Thanks for posting this.

Good Morning. Howdy. I'm a middle aged, middle Englander and I NEVER tire of the Big Country. It is outstanding on so many levels. Gregory Peck as yet another civilised hero resisting violence, the landscape, Jean Simmons so fesity & beautiful (the thinking she takes to sell Big Muddy is a great bit of acting), the finest of film soundtracks (and not just the opening theme) , the fabulous twilight fight with Chuck H and Burl Ives brilliant bulk & voice. I bloody love it.

In the film I remember that the Mother lost her shit when she realized what had happened. Wonder if that's how it really went down. Anyway, that was back in eighty seven and, this footage still gives me goosebumps, good goosebumps, in twenty thirteen. Way to go Juicey you are indeed truely, a warrior! (: I love you, the world still loves you girl! You are AMAZING! Thank you for the video.

He committed suicide after suffering ptsd. and Jessica did have life threatening injuries. Get your facts straight and learn a little compassion!

"Following her rescue on October 16, 1987, surgeons had to amputate a toe due to gangrene from loss of circulation while in the well. She also has a scar on her forehead where her head rubbed against the well casing. She has had 15 surgeries over the years, and has no first-hand memory of the event." Yea, she didn't need a hospital. Derp.

i couldnt imagine if this was my child

Today is the 25 year anniversary! Just searched it and found the movie is available on youtube in 4 parts!

Oh, yes - Chamberlain WAS a fascinating guy; and far beyond his Civil War exploits, too. Don't think much of Lee - think he's way over bloated with praise - but Chamberlain was a down to earth good guy. Anyone disagree? Stan at "[email protected]"

I imagine much of the U.S. was glued to their television during this ordeal, but for those of us in Texas, it was like nothing else existed for those couple of days. I was about 10 years old at the time and every now again, some 20 odd years later, the name "Baby Jessica" still pops into my head from time to time.

wait my name is Jessica will i fall down a well?

Cool! Could you imagine having him as a teacher? Would have been fascinating

Did you know that she had gangrene and had to get one of her toes surgically removed? She also had other surgeries due to her injuries. You just don't give them a bath, food and that's it. She wouldn't be alive today if things were done your way.

58 hours trapped in a well, in a split position, unable to move, unknown (possibly SEVERE) injuries (which did include gangrene, which is DEADLY, and resulted in the loss of a toe), no food/water, not to mention heaven knows how bad a diaper rash forming, and you're CRITICIZING them for taking precautions as soon as they have her out, then rushing her in for immediate medical treatment?? Wow. Just wow. Shame on you. Shame. Imagine if it were YOUR child. I bet you'd be singing a different tune.

Excellent cinematography and an awesome back ground music. Simply marvelous.

Just look her up on Wikipedia for her today. She says she remembers nothing from it. Stan. [email protected]
