Rachel Blakely is a lovely and talented actress and I can understand her wanting to stretch, doing more than glamour roles, but her casting in this movie was a mistake. For one thing, I found it incredibly difficult to believe this woman would fall for someone like the scum-manipulator-prisoner in this film. Perhaps it's because Blakely tends to act in roles that have her empowered and this role just made her seem like a silly, weak woman that decides to do something really stupid like have an affair with a jailbird then break him out of prison. If Blakely was remotely unbeautiful it might have worked, she's that good an actress, but she's just too lovely and confident and the man she's supposedly fallen for in this movie is as transparent as Scotch Tape.

After all, it's not like her lover is ... William Snow, who stars with Blakely in THE LOST WORLD. Now, there's a man I can see her character getting excited about.

All in all, ONE WAY TICKET is an interesting movie but needed different actors. Or, at least, actors that have chemistry.

A very well made Australian drama based upon a factual story. Excellent characterisation by a skilful cast who normally only turn up in Aussie soaps. Also a great laugh listening to the strange way Australians sometimes speak eg calling prison offices "Miss"... Well worth the watch.

I have seen the movie and thought that it was really good, some of the facts in the show were not quite right but all in all they were that close to the truth. What really happened out there in the bush who really killed Archie we will never know. Why do I ask this question you ask, well I was at the time engaged to P. Gibb and this whole thing turned lots of lives around. And I do believe that poor H. Parker must sit back and wonder what the hell she got her self into. I do feel sorry for her and there 2 children, but she has stuck by the man for a very long time and I take my hat off to her not many would have. I had to laugh at Peter Phelps, as Peter Gibb is a very tall and was very proud of his slim waste line and Phelps is quite stocky and some of the movements that he made were so funny that we sat and laugh at them.
