''Mates from the Murrumbidgee'' is a 1911 Australian silent movie. It is considered a lost film and was arguably the first Australian war film.〔Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, ''Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production'', Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998,23〕 ==Plot== John, James and Mary are school friends, who grow up near the Murrumbidgee River. As they grow up both John and James fall for Mary, but Mary loves John. John and James work as drovers then join the Australian Lighthorse during the Second Boer War, both fighting for the New South Wales Lancers. While fighting with the Boers, James is seriously wounded. Mary ends up poisoning herself and one of the friends shoots the other. The film includes a charge at Majuba Hill (even though that took place during the First Boer War). This was done "for the sake of the picturesque". It also included a triumphant return to Sydney.〔 A con 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mates from the Murrumbidgee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
