The Sundowners (1960)
Country: AUS/GB/US
Technical: col 133m
Director: Fred Zinnemann
Cast: Robert Mitchum, Deborah Kerr, Glynis Johns, Peter Ustinov
Synopsis:
The Carmody family live out of their wagon in the Australian outback. Life is hard, and mother and son want to settle, but father does not.
Review:
Finely made Aussie western, i.e. sheep instead of cattle, but with overseas actors. Still, the fact that producers were taking an interest in the territory was encouraging, and the story eschews grandiosity in favour of small, quotidian details of life at the turn of the twentieth century.
