I hope you like it. It's one of my all-time favorites. One of the best examinations of Small Town, America that I've seen in a film, with beautiful black-and-white cinematography and excellent performances from everyone in the cast.

It was shown on American TV in the '80s as Outback.

I almost watched this tonight knowing nothing about it. I'd like to know what you think.

A schoolteacher's attempt to escape the boredom of the outback for his annual holiday in Sydney lands him in a place the locals lovingly refer to as "The Yabba." Here, through well-meaning but forced hospitality, kindness and copious amounts of alcohol, he quickly falls into a Hell of drunken debauchery which robs him of all his resources and means of escape. The activity in the Yabba is fast and taut with action, suspense, brutality and a personal ambiguity which leaves our main character an emotional mess. Wake in Fright has a well written and explosive storyline which won't disappoint you.
