A cute low key Australian drama/comedy about the team that run the traveling pictures. This film was pretty weak on plot but was interesting to see the early days of Australian Film entertainment. The acting was so so but it's an easy watching film. It captured the simple Australian life in the 1920's & had some genuine funny moments. It was great to see a lot of early Australian film footage.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
