Creaky Australian WWI saga doesn't improve with age.
Powerful Australian war-classic with a bevy of great performances
A solid war film that builds to a riveting climax.
With some literary licence, this is a true story of how the Austrailians, under the British, fooled Turkish commanders/advised by Germans and captured Beersheba and it's wells
July 2, 2011This is one of the greatest world war 1 films every made, the only others being The Lost Battalion and Beneath Hill 60.
