Australian Westerns in the Fifties: Kangaroo, Hopalong Cassidy on Tour, and Whiplash offer a comprehensive perspective on Australian Westerns during the 1950s, encompassing film, personal appearance, and television. The era marked the golden age of American Westerns, and these three significant yet "forgotten" cases shed light on the unique aspects of Australian Westerns. (1) Kangaroo: The Australian Story, the first Technicolor film made in Australia, was produced by 20th Century Fox and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lewis Milestone. It starred Maureen OHara, Peter Lawford, and Richard Boone. (2) Hopalong Cassidy's successful goodwill tour of Australia showcased the Hollywood actor's charm and charisma. (3) Whiplash, a British-American produced black-and-white TV series, was set in Australia and starred Peter Graves. The American filmmakers' ignorance of Australia led to valuable lessons, as they discovered that Australian Westerns went beyond mere substitutions of prairies for bush, bison for kangaroos, and Native Americans for Aboriginals. The depiction of place and the presentation of Aboriginal culture are among the most intriguing aspects of Australian Westerns. By retelling the filmmakers' stories, a vivid picture of the Australian film and television industry and everyday life during the 1950s emerges.
