An Original 1958 Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17 1/4" [28 x 44 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Robbery Under Arms (released in the U.S. in 1958), the 1957 Jack Lee English Australia Outback robbery-gone-wrong action thriller ("From the novel by Rolf Bolderwood entitled 'Robbery Under Arms'"; about Australian brothers who intend to go to work in a gold mine, but they get mixed up with a gang of crooks who stage a daring robbery, and the authorities track them to their hideout where there is a bloody resolution) starring Peter Finch, Ronald Lewis, Maureen Swanson, David McCallum (in his fourth credited movie role!), Jill Ireland (in one of her very first important roles!), Laurence Naismith, Jean Anderson, Vincent Ball, Ursula Finlay, Johnny Cadell, Larry Taylor, and Russell Napier. Note that at the time of the making of this movie, Jill Ireland was married to David McCallum. They remained married for another 9 years, when she divorced and married Charles Bronson (oddly, McCallum had introduced her to Charles Bronson during the filming of "The Great Escape", a movie that featured both McCallum and Bronson!). Note that this movie was based on one of Australia's best loved books (it was first published in 1882 and has never gone out of print!). A bunch of top English actors traveled halfway across the world to Australia to film it on location, and the ending was changed from the book to give it a really violent resolution (which proved to be a tremendous audience pleaser)!
