Summary: Ripping Yarn
Comment: Alice to Nowhere was a 'ripping yarn' novel from Evan Green. Sold to Crawfords, who produced it as a two part miniseries, so most of the detail of the book has been kept in the movie. This is not a sparse production. The movie is true to the book, except the main character has had a name change from Fred Crawford to Dave Mitchell - Hmmm. Strong performances, particularly by John Waters as Johnny.
The Birdsville track today is a track in name only, but should you plan to visit the 'Never Never' country, this movie would be a good introduction to the landscapes out there.
The original Birdsville mailmen picture, "Back of Beyond", was most likely the inspiration for Evan's story. This is available again on DVD and well worth a look.

Summary: "Some men don't last out here."
Comment: I've read several short synopsie (is that plural for synopsis?) on the movie so I know that when the reviewer says the movie is about a young nurse, lost in the outback, I know they didn't watch the movie. The only people lost were the bad guys and only temporarily. I've watched a lot of movies, old and new, and this is one of the very best I've ever seen. You've got the strangeness of the Australian outback, the modest beauty of the nurse, Babara Dean, the big strong silent type in the trucker/mailman, Dave Mitchell, the thieves turned murderers, Johnny and Frog, and the humorous side-kick of Dave, Trotsky, an ex-prisoner of the infamous Russian Gulag. Put all these along with an opal necklace, meant for the young queen Elizabeth, into the heart of the Australian outback and see who survives the horror of murders, relentless heat, endless desert and fear of what lies at the end of the Birdwell Track. As one of the victims says, just before Johnny executes her, "Some men don't last out here", it will be well worth your three and a half hours to see evil pitted against the Australian outback.

Summary: One of my favorites
Comment: Wonderful book and a good movie. A love story set during the war. Great for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
