Quotes:
Dr. Max Askey:
One of the few advantages of being the only doctor in the district is that eventually, if you wait long enough, all the people that say that they hate you turn up on your doorstep with kidney stones or an anal abscess or something that's giving them terrible bother.

Uncle Vanja in the Australian outback with a perfect rendering of the characters; engrossing, entertaining, and the sad ending as well. I voted it a "10". It looks like Hollywood could learn a lot from Australia.
