I didn't feel I had witnessed any real hardship. It all looked very easy to be a single mother in the Depression, if you were a nice woman who smiled in a wholesome way. But it's a lie. Go to Full Review Augusto Martínez Torres El Pais (Spain) 08/07/2019

michael B Jul 16 *5/5 stars* "Caddie" (1976) is a cinematic treasure that embodies the spirit of Australia's film renaissance. This beautifully crafted film tells the inspiring story of Caddie, a single mother navigating the challenges of 1920s Sydney. The cinematography is exquisite, capturing the city's Vibrant but at times desolate streets and scenic landscapes. The script is equally impressive, weaving a narrative that's both poignant and uplifting. The film's portrayal of resilience and determination is deeply moving, making "Caddie" a must-see for anyone interested in Australian cinema. With its rich storytelling and stunning visuals, this classic film is sure to leave a lasting impression. *A timeless classic that shines brightly* See more 01/20/2013 I watched this because my Mum was in it.
