Australian label Umbrella Entertainment will add two new titles to its Sunburnt Screens series. They are: The Big Steal (1990) and The Overlanders (1946). The releases will be available for purchase this September.
The Big Steal
Label description: On Monday Danny Clark (Ben Mendelsohn) is the reluctant recipient of a birthday present he would rather forget, his father's old Nissan Cedric. By Tuesday he has asked the beautiful Joanna Johnson (Claudia Karvan) out on a date...only problem is, he promised to pick her up in a Jaguar. In a tight fix and desperate to impress, Danny trades the Nissan Cedric in for a Jaguar only to be ripped off by a dodgy used car salesman, Gordon Farkas (Steve Bisley). With his mates in tow and revenge on their minds, Danny sets out to rectify wrongs and finish his dream date better than it started.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 1.
The Overlanders
Label description: With Australia facing invasion from Japanese forces during WWII, man of the land and master drover Dan McAlpine ('Chips' Rafferty) sets out to preserve his very livelihood and the fate of more than a thousand head of cattle by trekking them across an alternate route over three thousand kilometres. Facing an arduous and desolate landscape, from the dry extremes of the Northern Territory to the dense pastures north of Brisbane, McAlpine is joined by a dedicated yet disparate band of horsemen who set about bringing their considerable charge in for head count.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 1.
