'This article argues that Harry Watt's The Overlanders (1946), an Ealing Studios film shot in Australia, should be understood as an international film product, one with a foot in the post-war cultural histories of both Australia and Britain. In this sense the film requires different reading strategies to those used within a national cinema framework. The article resists 'settling' the account, or justifying the film's raison d'être with respect to only one of nationalist discourse, arguing that a reliable and truthful account of The Overlanders will always be a composite one.'
