Wake in Fright is the story of John Grant, a bonded teacher who arrives
in the rough outback mining town of Bundanyabba planning to stay
overnight before catching the plane to Sydney. But his one night stretches
to five and he plunges headlong toward his own destruction. When the
alcohol-induced mist lifts, the educated John Grant is no more. Instead
there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty, red-eyed,
sitting against a tree and looking at a rifle with one bullet left...(IMDB)
Another "lost" film was Australia's "Lost in Fright". A copy was known
to exist in Ireland but it was in such poor shape that no VHS or DVD
release could be made from it. The films editor spent ten years looking
for a better copy. He eventually found a negitive in the States in a pile
labeled "For Destruction" and was able in time to restore it. (wikipedia)
