This beautiful little film encapsulates the Aussie virtues of authenticity and the fair go.
Yes, it's corny - yes, it's not Olivier-like in its acting.
What it delivers, is a true snapshot of life in Australia in the 60's and for Aussies at least, the film provides a beautiful, nostalgic peek into the past. Were things "better back then?" Well, that's a subject for another time and greater minds than mine.
But, if you seek a thoughtful insight into Australia's recent past, replete with "Aussie-isms" and good honest fun, look no further.
