Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Garry JA severely overlooked and ignored film, Michael Powell (Peeping Tom) constructs a very funny and very Australian film. Both loved and hated for it's portrayal of a boorish, brotherly Australia of the sixties. It's a delightful film, funny and earnest and quite Aussie...maite!
User Review - 8/10 by Don MBorrowed this one from the library because there wasn't anything else that looked interesting... was actually quite surprised, it's a really good movie! Great to see Sydney in the 60's!
User Review - 8/10 by Shelley PA fantastic insight into immigration and intergration in the 1960's. I have been trying to find this movie for quite sometime any hints on where I can borrow/purchase it?
User Review - 6/10 by Mark TA rather simple, outdated film based on a famous Australian book from the 60s. It is still nevertheless worth a look as the first Australian film about the migrant experience and the clashes and misunderstandings between Italian and 50s/60s Australian culture. It also has a bit of humour and some nice moments - a film for optimists.
User Review - 6/10 by Private UVery funny and progressive for the time it was made. A great look back into Australian culture and why we are the people we are today
User Review - 6/10 by Andrew RMixed bag- roughly in line with the book written by the not-so-Italian John O'Grady about the experiences of fictional migrant Nino Culotta. Full marks for authenticity and performances and enjoyable enough as a light hearted drama. However as a comedy, some of the humour is a little dated. Definitely worth a look- especially with Target currently selling it for $7 in their DVD sale.
User Review - 6/10 by Adam TGood-natured comedy about an Italian immigrant to Australia and the wacky culture into which he is adopted. Michael Powell (of Powell & Pressburger fame) directed this extremely broad but affectionate tale that shares little in common with his previous outings except for an interest in "place", the location (in this case, Sydney), and "people" or culture (in this case, a very blokey set of Aussies). Powell doesn't poke fun at Italians at all, although he doesn't shy away at depicting the prejudice that some Australians showed (and still show?) to the "New Australians" who migrated here in the 1950s and '60s (from Italy and Greece). Nino is meant to work for an Italian newspaper but it no longer exists and instead he finds work as a tradie, putting in foundations for houses. It's back-breaking work but he bonds with the other guys and eventually finds love as well, not with the Italian girl that he initially pursues but with the Anglo-Aussie sheila that owns the building from which his cousin's newspaper company was evicted. But all this plot is simply an opportunity to expose the world to some proper Aussie slang, their fondness for drinking beer, the beautiful vistas of Sydney (harbor, Bondi Beach), and most of all about mateship. Yet, there is not an Aboriginal fella in sight and this is an Australia that is long gone in favour of a much more multicultural land where, in principle, everyone deserves a fair go, regardless of where they were born.

User Review - 4/10 by Timm SIt May Have A 'Historical Value' By Portraying The Struggle Of Cultural Acceptance, In A Semi-Documentary Style. It's However, Very, Very Dated. While This May Be Entertaining..Seeing How Things Once Were, There Is Overt Racism, An Ingrained Connection To The Country Being First & Foremost An English Colony, The Beach Being Where Cool People Be Cool..& Males Being Chavenistic, Pompous & Arrogant With Ego, Self-Importance Or Blokey Culture. Some Would Say, Including Myself, Not Much Has Changed..So While It Maybe 'Historical', It Is Also A Mirror That Hasn't Changed Much. From That Perspective, It Is An Interesting Conundrum.
User Review - 4/10 by Andrew HA bit dated, and well, a bit crap. A big pat on the back for Australia - 'as long as you assimilate, you'll be alright mate' kind of bollocks. Has some comedy moments though.
