Set in 1959/1960's Sydney, it is a walk in memories of the city. It manages to capture some of the attitudes of 'typical Aussies' at that time, and elegantly shows the growth in maturity of people's attitudes - particularly toward the new migrants who didn't speak English.
Congratulations to Bruce Beresford and the cast. A few more light-delights like this would be welcome.

The film is an entertaining, light hearted look at how things once were. It is set in a time when life was really much more black & white. It does raise some very relevant points about immigration & the value of it that continues to grow through time. All in all a delightful way to the time & well worth it.
