I want to recommend a wonderful 1957 McCallum film, "Robbery Under Arms" - a Rank film shot in Australia. It stars a tough Peter Finch and McCallum in his early 20s. It’s a Wild West bushranger (outlaw) film I saw when I was in Australia. Never heard of this film before or after - or outside of Oz, but McCallum was terrific. I also never knew there were “westerns" made down under in Australia's own Wild West period. A real treat if any of you can find it streaming anywhere. McCallum was young, handsome and incandescent. A true rising star!
