Dust in the Sun is a 1958 Australian mystery film adapted from a novel by Jon Cleary and produced by the team of Lee Robinson and Chips Rafferty.

Synopsis

Justin Bayard (Ken Wayne), a Northern Territory policeman, is escorting an aboriginal warrior, Emu Foot (Robert Tudawali), to Alice Springs to be tried for a trival killing. They are attacked by some Aborigines and forced to take refuge at an isolated cattle station.

Production

Shooting took place in the old Cinesound Studio at Bondi and on location near Alice Springs.

This was the fourth feature from Lee Robinson and Chips Rafferty but the first one in which Rafferty did not act. Lee Robinson later claimed this was a mistake on their part and contributed to the film's lack of commercial success.[2]

The film premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in 1958 but was not released in Australia and England until 1960.[3]
