Bitter Springs is a 1950 Australian-British film directed by Ralph Smart. An Australian pioneer family buy a piece of land from the government in the Australian outback and hire two inexperienced British men as drovers. Problems with the aborigines arise over the possession of a waterhole. Much of the film was shot on location in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia[1]
Ealing made the film as it's second follow up to The Overlanders (1946). It was originally announced as being a comedy starring Rafferty and Trinder, and was meant to be followed by a version of Robbery Under Arms.[2]
