“ Dundee is appealing the first minute he steps onscreen, donning a boastful swagger and affable wit, paired later with fish-out-of-water innocence and unwavering independence. He comes on strong, initially, with unsubtly smooth moves, animal taming techniques, old Bushman tricks, crocodile battling skills, and his knowledge of Aborigine traditions, but ultimately reveals a degree of gentlemanliness carefully hidden beneath his ungraceful exterior. “
