The next selection is considered a comedy in some places but it's more of a dramatic film about; wait, spoiler, not gonna to do that. There's some funny parts as they introduce characters in the beginning, but it takes a more serious path the rest of the way. It's another fictional tale told around a couple of actual events. I'd call it an Australian 'western' with a little bit of WWII action on the back end. A movie about a cattle drive is a western, right? Nicole Kidman plays the Lady Ashley. She's just a little to proper for this environment. 'The Drover' is the Aussie actor otherwise known as Hugh Jackman. The little tune listed below plays a key part in this week's recommendation, Australia (2008)...
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of Oz (1939).
