breaker morant (film)

Breaker Morant is a 1980 Australian feature film, directed by Bruce Beresford and starring British actor Edward Woodward in the title role. The all-Australian supporting cast features Bryan Brown as Lieutenant Handcock, Lewis FitzGerald as Witton and Jack Thompson as Major Thomas. Beresford co-wrote the screenplay with Jonathan Hardy and David Stevens. Although the screen credit is given to Kenneth Ross for his play as the source material for the adaptation, the screen story also owes a great deal to the novel The Breaker by Kit Denton, first published in 1973, which was inspired by Denton's meeting and conversation with a Boer War veteran who had known Harry The Breaker Morant. The film was produced by Matt Carroll. Although the action is set in South Africa, principal photography was done entirely in Australia. The film was a top performer at the Australian Film Institute awards, with ten wins. It was also released to critical acclaim in the United States and was nominated for the 1980 Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay.
