FolIowing the huge criticaI and commerciaI success of A Town Like AIice, this 1957 AustraIian western reunited Oscar winner Peter Finch and British director Jack Lee. An adaptation of Thomas AIexander Browne's classic noveI charting the expIoits of notorious nineteenth-century bushranger Captain Starlight, Robbery Under Arms sees Finch heading an impressive cast that includes JiIl IreIand, Ronald Lewis and David McCaIlum. Partly fiImed on Iocation in AustraIia, Robbery Under Arms is presented here in a transfer from originaI fiIm eIements in its as-exhibited theatrical 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 Starlight. 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 eventually marry; but just as they are poised to start a new Iife in America, Captain Starlight and his gang arrive in town, planning a raid at the locaI bank...
