By the way, you'll note that almost every spoken sentence contains either a "bloody" or a "bugger". laws and mob violence allowed little room for objectivity. Sure, Nino solemnly does what everyone tells him to do as if he were an anthropologist entering a mosque, but the story takes us further than this. and ord.er for uncontrolled mob act.ion in the name of justice. Nor are they really the point of the film. The obvious cultural misunderstandings (Nino thinks, for a while, that there's a region of Sydney called "King's Bloody Cross" - that kind of thing) are neither laboured nor over-stated. To compensate for the fact that it's not another "Black Narcissus" we get a nice, light, and in the end surprisingly touching, comedy. It's not that there's anything WRONG with the cinematography. But fair enough: visual splendour would have been beside the point in this kind of comedy, and it may have been fatal. And here I have grounds for disappointment, since there's none of Powell's usual visual inventiveness or splendour. I wouldn't have seen it if it hadn't been directed by Michael Powell. Powell even resists the temptation to show the Sydney Opera House as he pans over the harbour, probably because it hadn't yet been built. Neither a kangaroo nor a swagman in sight.

And it's NOT, as I feared, the 1960s equivalent of "Crocodile Dundee". I'm sure most Australians, like me, will be thinking: If I watch this movie, how much will it make me cringe? The short answer: okay, it probably WILL make you cringe now and then but it's more moving, more witty, and more enlightened, than you might think. and the start of the Great Migration of African-Americans from the South to. Not that "reminded" is the right word, for most of us either weren't born or weren't here in 1966 (I certainly wasn't), and so it's easy for us to suppose that this film is nothing more than (a) a sustained exercise in wog-bashing, and (b) a celebration of everything we've all been earnestly trying to escape ever since the introduction of decimal currency and decent coffee. of A Few Red Drops: The Chicago Race Riot of 1919 by Claire Hartfield.

The Jungle Villages still dont seem to even exist inside of a world. It was a blockbuster in its day, but only in Australia, and Australians are among the last people on the face of the planet who'd want to see it now. Whoever you are, you probably have no desire to see this film.
