Well made, well acted, superb Australian footage, a must-see movie about the early days of Australia's 'newsreel' industry. As with many movies of that era, it was a roll call of all of the best Aussie actors of the time, including Bryan Brown who went on to many bigger and better things.

A film that will remind Australian baby boomers of how it was & educate gen Y & Xer's. This movie was a brave effort in 1979, being an entertaining drama that documented the movie newsreel scene in the late 1940's through to the advent of television here in 1956 for the Melbourne Olympic Games. I thought it was great! A great example of the golden era of Australian film making. The life of a newsreel cameraman (Bill Hunter, AFI Best Actor) is intercut with genuine newsreel footage of the fifties and sixties in Australia, the flood sequence a highlight.
