#17 Wake in Fright

Wake in Fright (1971). Directed by Ted Kotcheff, screenplay by Evan Jones from a novel by Kenneth Cook. Starring Gary Bond, Donald Pleasance, Chips Rafferty, Jack Thompson, Peter Whittle, Sylvia Kay, Al Thomas, John Meillon and Maggie Dence. We see in the new year (and the new decade) watching an English schoolteacher have probably the harshest new year he’ll ever see. It looks almost as hot in the movie as it does outside right now.
