Rangle River

Rangle River is a 1936 Australian Western film directed by Clarence G. Badger based on a story by Zane Grey.

The movie was partly financed by a Hollywood studio, Columbia, and used an imported American star, director and principal technicians.

[4] The original story was written by popular writer Zane Grey while at Bermagui during his 1935 fishing tour of Australia, a period which also produced the film White Death (1936).

It features a number of stock characters from Australian films and theatre of the time, such as the "squatter's daughter" and the "English new chum".

A shooting script was written, Clarence Badger agreed to return and by December 1936 an agreement had almost been formed with Columbia Pictures.

From the moment when The Burgomeister was rejected by the advisory board, with the consequence that it had to be shelved at a total loss, the public shied away from the business side of Australian motion pictures.
