Narrated by Robert Redford If you've never seen a real cowboy, or didn't know that a few of them still exist, this film will show you the reality behind the legend. Big Piney is a cow-town surrounded by the Rockies; since the 1880s generations of cattlemen have run their herds hereabouts. Now this small community opens its doors to a film crew. Robert Redford , when he saw this film, said that it was one of the truest he'd seen about life in the present-day West.

Tonight starring Heather Bolton, David Letch
When Meg buys a vintage Mark 4 Jaguar she hopes for a comfortable ride and security on the roads. Unfortunately the car has other ideas and a dark history that gradually drives the young girl into a nervous breakdown. Not only has she acquired the vehicle, she has also inherited its memory of the strangled body left in the boot - and the sadistic killer who is still on the prowl. This thriller, also known as Dark of the Night, marked the feature debut of former documentary film maker Gaylene Preston.
Screenplay by GAYLENE PRESTON, GEOFF MURPHY and GRAHAM TETLEY Based on the story by ELIZABETH JANE HOWARD Produced by ROBIN LAING , GAYLENE PRESTON Directed by GAYLENE PRESTON
