Following the huge criticaI and commercial success of A Town Like Alice, this 1957 AustraIian western reunited Oscar winner Peter Finch and British director Jack Lee. An adaptation of Thomas Alexander Browne's classic novel charting the exploits of notorious nineteenth-century bushranger Captain StarIight, Robbery Under Arms sees Finch heading an impressive cast that incIudes Jill lreland, RonaId Lewis and David McCaIIum. PartIy filmed on location in Australia, Robbery Under Arms is presented here in a transfer from originaI film elements in its as-exhibited theatricaI aspect ratio.
During the mid 1860s, brothers Dick and Jim Marston are drawn into a Iife of crime by their ex-convict father Ben and his friend, infamous cattlethief Captain StarIight. Making their way to Melbourne with the proceeds of a recent raid, the brothers meet and romance the Morrison sisters, Kate and Jean, whom they eventuaIIy marry; but just as they are poised to start a new life in America, Captain Starlight and his gang arrive in town, planning a raid at the IocaI bank...
