Read the other reviews. They are right on.I have seen this movie twice on TV. It was a long time ago, too long ago. I would love to see it again and again. I really don't understand why it is still impossible to find. Surely there is a copy of it somewhere that could be legally distributed. It is too good a movie to disappear.I found reference to someone who has a copy (Adam's Woman – An Australian Viewpoint) I wonder if it is possible to create a consortium to resurrect this gem. I am certainly aware there are hundreds/thousands of movies that need rescue. IMNSHO, this should be on someone's list.

I too once saw this movie and can not really understand why it is unavailable for purchase. Don't want to write a spoiler but it is one of the best movies I can remember with Beau Bridges and John Mills. The story is one of the most unique I have ever seen portrayed. Probably Jane Merrow's performance explains this uniqueness and it is her performance that I would most like to experience again to understand her character's purpose and my personal intrigue in examining it again against the recollection of the period and its historical conveyance. Periodically I return to IMDb hoping for the announcement of its availability and where I can purchase it.

I saw this movie in 1973 in Chicago late one night on TV and was thoroughly taken with it! It's the kind of story that will last forever,-- so why is it impossible to find??? If I could get my hands on a VHS or DVD of this movie I'd watch it all the time! I'd give it to everyone I know for Xmas/Birthdays/etc.!

This is one of my favorites! In addition to showing the deplorable situation of a convict in 18th century Australia, the movie shows how these very convicts settled the outback, much like American pioneers. So much for redeeming qualities! This is just a good movie, with good actors. I wish it were available on video!
