Caddie tells the story of a Sydney woman, Caddie, (Helen Morse) in the late nineteen twenties, early thirties, as she leaves an adulterous, violent husband, and finds work as a barmaid to support herself and her two children, with Jack Weaver and Melissa Jaffer as two friendly barmaids who show her the ropes.

She is tempted by a flash bookie Ted (Jack Thompson), who calls her Caddie because she has the same class as his new Cadillac.

Then she falls in love with a Greek migrant Peter (Takis Emmanuel), but family obligations force him to return to Greece. When the great depression strikes, Caddie’s income is reduced to the point where malnutrition and nervous exhaustion strike.

A friendly rabbitoh (Ron Blanchard) and his young Caddie-admiring brother (Drew Forsythe) help out, Caddie takes another job as barmaid, and thanks to a bookie (John Ewart) learns the art of S.P. (starting price) book-keeping for horse racing in the public bar … and so by the end, back with her children, her life is looking up …

The post Terry Ohlsson – Scobie Malone (1975) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

At the turn of the twentieth century, three Australian army lieutenants are court-martialed for alleged war crimes committed while fighting in South Africa. With no time to prepare, an Australian major, appointed as defense attorney, must prove that they were just following orders and are being made into political pawns by the British imperial command. Director Bruce Beresford garnered international acclaim for this riveting drama set during a dark period in his country’s colonial history, and featuring passionate performances by Edward Woodward, Bryan Brown, and Jack Thompson; rugged cinematography by Donald McAlpine; and an Oscar-nominated script, based on true events.

Quote:
Set in Sydney, Australia. A (heterosexual) father and his gay son are trying to find Ms/Mr Right respectively. The film shows their relationships with one another and the objects of their affection as tradgedy strikes.

The post Geoff Burton & Kevin Dowling – The Sum of Us (1994) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
A car crash and a few beers is enough to persuade gun shearer Foley (Jack Thompson) to sign up for a week’s work with novice contractor and old mate Tim King (Max Cullen). Once they’re at the station, however, King admits to selling him a pup: it’s not a six-day job, it’s six hard weeks.

Sharing a room with Old Garth (movingly played by Reg Lye), a pisspot drunk at death’s door, Foley has plenty of opportunity to ponder his future but his competitive nature gets the better of him when he’s drawn into a shearing competition by the taciturn Arthur Black (Peter Cummings).

Still one of the best films about men at work, Sunday Too Far Away is full of salty humour and wears its heart on its sleeve. Hannam’s directing reflects his TV background but John Dingwall’s hard-boiled script is well served by the cast and cinematographer Geoff Burton captures the shearing shed action beautifully. The film went on to play at Cannes in the Director’s Fortnight and won the 1975 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Film.
