Call No: 79ANZ CRIAuthor: Cribbin, John Source: ATPlace: SydneyPublisher: FontanaPubDate: 1985PhysDes: 135 p. : ill. (some col.), facsims., maps, ports. ; 28 cm.Subject: ART DIRECTION ; HISTORY AND TV. AUSTRALIA ; LOCATION SHOOTING. AUSTRALIA ; PRE-PRODUCTION. AUSTRALIA ; PRODUCTION, TV. AUSTRALIA ; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA ; WAR ON TV ; BURROWES, GEOFF ; DIXON, JOHN ; MILLER, GEORGE ; ANZACS [TV] (AT, Pino Amenta, John Dixon & George Miller, 1985) Summary: "They were the tallest soldiers of any army; the only all-volunteer fighting force and the best paid of all the troops in the Great War. Yet in 1914 when they marched away, they were considered a rag-tag lot, probably too ill-disciplined to be useful in war. The proud but tragic fiasco of Gallipoli changed that perception [...] Now the Great War is the backdrop of ANZACS, one of the most dramatic and important series ever made for Australian television. In five parts the ANZACS brings to life forgotten aspects of an immense conflict, and the men - and women too - who were swept up or overtaken by it. Here, vividly illustrated in text and in pictures, is an account of how that series was made; the powerful and moving stories told; the stars who portray the dignity, bravery and poignancy of yesterday's heroes."--BOOK BLURBNotes: "The major 9 network television series (produced by Geoff Burrowes and John Dixon)'--CoverISBN: 000636893XDonation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006
