Standout Aspects

Rare glimpse of Australian Western tropes filtered through Hollywood's lens.

Costume

Marion's wardrobe: fifteen years of Paris vs. one dusty outback station.

Best for:Solo: Rainy afternoon with zero interruptions and a tolerance for 1930s pacing.·Rewatch: Spotting which scenes were clearly shot in California 'standing in' for Queensland.
Heads up:Violence: Some cattle-related peril and a corpse discovery played for mystery thrills.
