Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind) and Charlotte Rampling (Swimming Pool, Angel Heart) star in this unforgettable sequel to celebrated author Alan Marshall's "I Can Jump Puddles"_x009d_.   It is the summer of 1910 and in the small country town of Turalla the young polio stricken Alan Marshall (Alexander Outhred) is on the cusp of teenagehood, dreaming of becoming a great horseman just like the town's hero, East Driscoll (Crowe). When East commences a passionate affair with Grace McAlister (Rampling), a married and much older aristocratic Englishwoman, Alan witnesses the backlash from a hard, cruel society with strict social taboos and even harsher penalties. "Hammers Over The Anvil" is the inspirational story of that summer, a time when young Alan learned a lesson that would ultimately shape the rest of his life - that the blows that life deals us make us stronger...or destroy us. From the producer of "The Heartbreak Kid" comes this unforgettable story of passion, courage and a boy taking his first steps towards manhood.

Year: 1993
Director: Ann Turner
Cast: Charlotte Rampling, Russell Crowe, Alexander Outhred
