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 …

Synopsis:
In the Hellenistic period, around 200 B.C., a group of shepherds led by Molossos (Zannino) move from the mountain to the plain, in search of new pastures for their flocks. The shepherds lose their way and find refuge near a beach, by a fishing village, next to a group of women whose husbands, all fishermen, are away. Two young children, Skymnos who’s about 10 years old and twelve-year old Chloe (Vangelis Ioannidis, Kleopatra Rota) are initiated in the secrets of love by watching the love-making of a shepherd, Tsakalos (Takis Emmanouil), with a local woman, Arta (Eleni Prokopiou).

The post Nikos Koundouros – Mikres Afrodites AKA Young Aphrodites (1963) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

“Paul Cox (“My First Wife”/”A Man of Flowers”/”The Golden Braid “) helms an interesting romantic drama about diverse cultures meeting on equal terms. It’s set in Melbourne, Australia, where the earthy Kostas (Takis Emmanuel), a journalist in the old country but who is now forced to drive a cab to survive. Kostas is depicted as a sensitive man of hot Greek passions, well-educated and of a good upbringing who currently lives in a dumpy boarding-house. The exile lives a peaceful but depressing existence, but things perk up when he picks up one of his fares. Carol (Wendy Hughes) is a native born pretty divorcee of the upper-crust, who despite embarrassed by Kosta’s vulgarity is still attracted to him. How the couple manage to relate to each other makes up the heart of the film and gives the viewer a chance to look at the clash over cultures through their eyes.

Like all Cox films, the background music is well chosen, the acting is superb and the story is intelligently presented.”
