HIGH COUNTRY LIFE
Sir—l believe sounds such as musterers shouting and Paradise ducks whistling are to be recorded and incorporated in a film on high country life. The National Film Unit should not have warned the musterers they were going to be filmed. Had the Production Unit hidden in the snow grass the shouts of the musterers would have been more true to life and the film might have been the greatest money-maker ever. When musterers start shouting at their dogs, well ask yourself. Unfortunately, if the censor started culling it, city people might think the musterer inarticulate so I suggest the musterers stick to whistling, while the Paradise duck carries on squawking, and if there is any shouting to be done let it be for the boys after they muster off —Yours, etc., TUSSOCK JUMPER. Waipara, July 28, 1952.
