Trust me, though, we still want Sundowners to be just as fun and relaxing for everyone as ever, so we're experimenting with some small changes that we hope will please our sponsors as well as students and staff without changing the fundamental character of the event.

Through the constant creation of new music, The Sundowners are focused on reaching an audience who have never heard modern rock sound quite this way, and concurrently give others what they have been missing for so long.

 Deborah Kerr - Scottish Rose - The Sundowners
Hardly the most conflict-driven film of Fred Zinneman's career, or anyone's, The Sundowners is characterized by a gentle tone that effectively complements its striking Australian location photography.
One of the high points is a sheep-shearing sequence (the normally self-assured Mitchum was so nervous about accidentally harming an animal that he required a few bottles of beer for fortification before shooting the scene).
This major film by a major director (Fred Zinnemann) was neglected when it came out—possibly because Warners didn't believe that people would go to see a movie set in Australia—and it has never achieved the reputation it deserves.
