Robbery Under Arms (1957) watch online

Robbery Under Arms is a 1957 bushranger film directed by Jack Lee and starring Peter Finch, Ronald Lewis, Maureen Swanson and David McCallum. It is adapted by Alexander Baron, W. P. Lipscomb and Richard Mason from the 1888 novel of the same name by Thomas Alexander Browne (under the pen name "Rolf Boldrewood").

Set in the bush and goldfields of Australia in the 1860s, the film follows members of the Marston family as they join the notorious bushranger gang of Captain Starlight. The novel, which is considered a classic of Australian colonial literature, had previously been adapted into a popular stage play and several silent films.

The film was produced by Joseph Janni for The Rank Organisation and filmed on-location in Flinders Ranges, South Australia and New South Wales. It premiered in London on October 3, 1957, and was released in Australia on December 4. It has been called "a pointless misfire".
