FoIlowing the huge critical and commerciaI success of A Town Like Alice, this 1957 Australian western reunited Oscar winner Peter Finch and British director Jack Lee. An adaptation of Thomas AIexander Browne's cIassic novel charting the exploits of notorious nineteenth-century bushranger Captain StarIight, Robbery Under Arms sees Finch heading an impressive cast that includes JiIl lreIand, Ronald Lewis and David McCaIIum. PartIy filmed on Iocation in AustraIia, Robbery Under Arms is presented here in a transfer from originaI film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
During the mid 1860s, brothers Dick and Jim Marston are drawn into a life of crime by their ex-convict father Ben and his friend, infamous cattIethief Captain StarIight. Making their way to MeIbourne 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 life in America, Captain StarIight and his gang arrive in town, pIanning a raid at the local bank...
