The bloke driving the taxi at about 2.00 also appeared as a taxi driver in a tv advertisment for Fab Lemon Powered washing powder at about the time this film was made. I've often wondered since whether one scene was the inspiration for the other.
Its going to sound like everybodies dad worked on this movie when I say my father helped with the art direction. Iv spotted signs and artwork in the background done by him but dont see his name in the credits. Im looking forward to seeing the retored version on DVD coming out soon.
my dad had a part in this as an extra back in the day and I've never seen it, but I have had a good look and I can't find his scene, maybe cos this is the cut version?
Everyone's either pissed or got sunstroke on that train lol

Ebert gave this movie a good write up calling it a lost classic. I can't wait to see the restored version.

Go drink at the Silver Spade Hotel on the main street of Broken Hill on a Friday night. Not quite as crowded, but the mood is the same.
