Queensland (film)
Queensland is a 1976 film.
John Ruane says he was inspired by a newspaper article about a slaughter man who killed his de facto wife and then got drunk for two days. He decided to remove the killing aspect, concentrate on the relationship. RuaneWhat we were trying to do then, strangely enough, was trying to imitate Summer of the Seventeenth Doll in reverse and to imitate Midnight Cowboy, a sort of Northcote version of Midnight Cowboy not the story, but the fact that they were headed for a dream. Their dream was Miami. Our film was obviously about heading to Queensland... Its about a vanishing breed of Australians. ........
