Utah Mining ads with Rod Taylor

(Reuploading with correct file ) In 1977, Rod Taylor took part in a promotional campaign for Utah Development Company, a operation that was the biggest exporter of coal from Australia. He made four television commercials with the theme Utah: We are backing Australia that started airing on Jan. 16, 1977. However, the ads were not received well and were pulled. Utah s mining operations and financial dealings were the subject of an hourlong Australian news program, Four Corners, on Nov. 4, 1977. This video is a combination of clips from the Four Corners broadcast and segments from 35mm workprints without audio. For more information, please visit
