Movie review - "The Phantom Stockman" (1953) **1/2

 The pace is lethargic and the script clunky but Chips Rafferty is charismatic in a specfically designed role, Janette Elphick is very pretty and quite good (her voice dubbed by June Salter), Guy Doleman an excellent villain, Henry Murdock is effective support, most of it is shot on location which looks pretty good. The Albert Namatjira cameo is a little odd but fascinating.

Max Osbiston is too old as the love interest - was there no one better looking available? I think Charles Tingwell was meant to play this part.
