Money Movers

In order to raise the money for his breakthrough film Breaker Morant, Australian director Bruce Beresford dashed off the guaranteed audience pleaser Money Movers. Terence Donovan masterminds a bank-vault heist that will potentially net his gang 20 million Australian dollars. The scheme predictably goes sour, but this conclusion is reached via a most unexpected fashion. Ed Devereaux, best known to American audiences for his leading-man gig on the TV series Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo, is second billed as Dick Martin (no, not the American TV-comic Dick Martin). Money Movers was based on a novel by Devon Minchin.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
