The Tullageal Gala Christmas Dance
A young Nicole Kidman showcases her country dancing skills in this scene from the 1983 film Bush Christmas.
Set in the 1950s in the fictional town of Tullageal, Queensland, it is a remake of the 1947 film of the same name. Bush Christmas tells the story of a family's struggle to keep their homestead and of two bumbling thieves who steal their race-winning horse, which represents their main chance of survival.
The 1983 version was directed by Henri Safran.
