This is not F.W. Murnau's 'Sunrise'

Someone already clarified this in another thread, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to add a thread with a clearer title, since several people have already mistaken this Australian film for F.W. Murnau's classic.

I was a little confused too. Murnau's 1927 movie (Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans) is here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018455/

TCM is airing it and the listing just says "Sunrise."

Nobody gets to be a cowboy forever.

I think F.W. Murnau's film goes by both titles — Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans and simply Sunrise — at least in the US.
