Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })My Brilliant Career is a 1979 film directed by Gillian Armstrong.Sybylla Melvyn (Judy Davis) is a headstrong young woman growing up in Australia near the end of the 19th century. She has dreams of being a great writer, dreams that do not impress her parents, cattle ranchers in the Australian outback. Her parents, flailing for something to do with a daughter that has no romantic prospects and clearly loathes ranching, send her off to live with her wealthy grandmother. She has various suitors, the best of the bunch being young Harry Beecham (Sam Neill). Harry loves her and eventually asks her to marry him, and Sybylla develops feelings for Harry as well. However, she remains torn between her love for Harry and her desire to be a writer, and the conflict between being a career woman and getting married.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Based on a 1901 semi-autobiographical novel by note Stella Miles Franklin. | |

Career Versus Man | |
| My Brilliant Career / int_4376f049 | comment |
Career Versus Man: The central dilemma, as Sybylla has to balance her feelings for Harry with her desire to be a career woman. Marriage and having a career are two things that don't go together well in Australia at the end of the Victorian era. A relatively unusual example of this trope in that the film ends with the woman choosing only a career (and in Real Life Miles Franklin never married). | |

Abhorrent Admirer | |

Abhorrent Admirer: Frank Hawdon, the "jackaroo"—basically an Australian apprentice sheep rancher—who takes a shine to Sybylla. In one scene he gives her a bouquet of flowers. She accepts, then after he walks away, chucks the flowers into a lake. | |
