OUTBACK...Every blow hits home..Check this one out

OUTBACK (1971) Australian/British production; terrific but brutal story of a teacher stranded inside a small town in the remote Australian outback where the main entertainment is drinking, fighting and butchering kangaroos, notorious for its graphic scenes of kangaroos having their heads blown off; often called the most authentic depiction of the Australian outback… even though it was directed by Ted Kotcheff, a Canadian; starring Donald Pleasence, Gary Bond, Chips Rafferty, Sylvia Kay, Jack Thompson; also known as WAKE IN FRIGHT; {the visual quality of this print is rated as A} Yet another first-class film made in Australia by foreigners (a Canadian director working for a British studio), during the long period from World War II to the early 1970s when Australian cinema lay fallow. Like many other good ones - "The Overlanders" (1946), "They're a Weird Mob" (1966), "Age of Consent" (1969), "Walkabout" (1971) - although "Walkabout" is more seriously flawed than the others I've named - it doesn't feel like a foreign film; it feels as if the director made an honest attempt to be Australian, and succeeded. It's interesting that all these films are British. American films shot in Austra
