AIRING SUN, MAY 31 at 8 PM ET. (1960, NR) Starring Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum and Peter Ustinov. A quiet, character-driven drama set in the Australian outback. It follows Paddy Carmody (Robert Mitchum), a wandering sheep drover who prefers life on the move, and his wife Ida (Deborah Kerr), who longs for a permanent home.
As the family travels from job to job, their son Sean is caught between his father’s free-spirited lifestyle and his mother’s desire for stability. Along the way, they encounter other travelers, including Mrs. Firth (Ava Gardner), adding color to their journey.
More than a plot-driven story, the film explores the tension between freedom and security, set against the sweeping beauty of the outback.
