This is a great, early Peter Weir classic. Two runners become friends in Australia early this century. Archy loves family, god and country, and yearns to serve his country in the Great War. Frank covers his painful youth with love of self, yet finds himself following Archy to war. A great tale of honor and sacrifice set in the context of one of Australia's great and tragic campaigns of the first World War. A must-see for any serious movie aficionado.
