Which rock star played the Australian bushranger Ned Kelly in a 1970 film?

Ned Kelly is a 1970 British-Australian biographical (and part musical) film. It was the seventh Australian feature film version of the story of 19th century Australian bushranger Ned Kelly. It is notable for being the first Kelly film to be shot in colour.

The film was directed by Tony Richardson, and starred Mick Jagger in the title role. Scottish-born actor Mark McManus played the part of Kelly's friend Joe Byrne. It was a British production, but was filmed entirely in Australia, shot mostly around Braidwood in southern New South Wales, with a largely Australian supporting cast.

I remember this for somewhere, maybe read it, or saw it in another quiz. I have never seen the film so it wasn't that. Lodged in the old brain for somewhere though

Sonia Ackhurst, no, you got it CORRECT not ‘correctly’ - unless you mean you didn’t cheat!

I couldn’t go any further than question one! And I immediately discounted Jagger because of his lips—must have done a good makeup job to disguise those. 😉

Don Racette

Todd Cates OWL have to agree with you.

Paul Chalk

At the risk of being negative, an absolute stinker.

I caught this on cable once and gave it about 5 seconds before I turned it off.

Mick was never any good as an actor, in fact Mark McManus was a better actor. Mark went on to play Taggart and is still a well respected actor, even after his death!
