It just misses the mark.

"Kangaroo" is an unusual film because it was made by Hollywood...on location in Australia. However, oddly, the stars are all Brits or Irish or Americans!

When the story begins, two crooks, Richard and John (Peter Lawford and Richard Boone), meet up and decide to fleece a nice old guy (Finlay Currie). However, as the film progresses, the nicer of the two crooks has second thoughts.

The problems for me are that the story never is very interesting and both leading men were awful....so I had a hard time caring for either. Overall, a mildly interesting time passer, and it's in color, but otherwise uninspired.
