Review of Wake in Fright (1971) by Simon T — 26 Dec 2018
FUN FACT: The movie had been out of circulation for decades because the negative went missing, sparking an international search. After a ten-year quest veteran Australian producer Anthony Buckley finally tracked it down in mid-2004 in a Pittsburgh warehouse, inside a shipping container marked "For Destruction".
I'm always amazed at stories such as these, and wonder how a print of a Australian movie ends up in a Pittsburgh warehouse.
