The Umbrella Woman is a 1987 Australian film directed by Ken Cameron and starring Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward. It also features Steven Vidler and Sam Neill.

Production

Producer Jan Sharp originally intended her husband, Phillip Noyce to direct, but he went on to make Echoes of Paradise instead, so she hired Ken Cameron. Cameron:

I was very happy to do it but it was a picture that I think would always be hard to do. It's terribly hard to do Madame Bovary in Australia and it's very hard to graft, say, that European style of melodrama or melodramatically intense view of family and sexual relations on to the Australian landscape. There's something there that refuses to play the game about the Australian country town.
