Windom's Way

SYNOPSIS

This neglected gem stars a charismatic Peter Finch at the height of his heart-throb powers. He plays Alec Windom, a doctor full of confident dedication, toiling away in a remote Malayan village and helping the locals resist a rebellious takeover. It's a very powerful, tightly directed film with some stunning supporting performances from the likes of Mary Ure and Michael Hordern. What could have been a cliché-ridden outing and a one-man demonstration of star ego emerges as a simply great movie.
