Synopsis
In the mid-1950s, Jack Thompson’s gun shearer battles a rival along with the encroachment of non-union labour while making an ambivalent play for the station-owner’s daughter (Lisa Peers). One of the key films of the “revival”, this evocative, often warm and melancholy comedy-drama features a great ensemble cast including Max Cullen, John Ewart and Reg Lye. The first feature produced by the South Australian Film Corporation, this incisive study of Australian masculinity also screened triumphantly in Directors’ Fortnight at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival.
