Dad and
Dave - DVD
A FUNNY, WARM, FEEL GOOD MOVIE.”
Cinema papers
A host of outstanding Aussie actors including LEO McKERN, GEOFFREY RUSH, JOAN SUTHERLAND, NOAH TAYLOR and BARRY OTTO star in this loud, proud, fair dinkum yarn about the original “great Aussie battlers”, the Rudds, an unconventional farming family of charming half-wits who survive on boiled pumpkin and parrot stew and half-baked get-rich schemes. When Dad Rudd (Leo McKern) moves his family out into the scrub to 'select' 150 acres of fly-blown land, he discovers he’s surrounded by all sorts of vermin – reptiles, insects, and Riley (Barry Otto), his miserable politician neighbour. Dad decides to beat Riley at his own game and stand for parliament. Dad Rudd M.P. The Farmers Friend! “Dad & Dave – On Our Selection” is a “pioneering” comedy based on the larrikin yarns of Steele Rudd. Full of bush brawls, harvest dances, outback wedding celebrations and bloody good laughs, it’s about a family who didn’t give a damn about the authorities or the harsh conditions – and made this country what it is today. Too right! |

Eliza Fraser
From the
award winning creative talents of David Williamson (Don's Party,
Gallipoli) and director Tim Burstall (Alvin Purple), comes a riotous
historical romp destined to change the way you perceive early Australian
settlement. Shipwrecked on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef in 1837,
English sea Captain James Fraser (Noel Ferrier, The Year of Living
Dangerously) and his innocent young wife Eliza (Susannah York, Tom Jones)
face an uphill struggle for survival against the harsh and unforgiving
Australian conditions. Waiting to be rescued, the couple takes up
residency with the local aboriginal people and watch as their mutinous
crew transform into savages before their very eyes. A classic Aussie tale
of colonial hardship and bawdy beginnings. |
