Listen to an older generation of Australian accents; watch two-up games and immerse yourself in a 1950s country sensibility. Smiley has an alcoholic drover father and an overworked mother. He saves up for a new bike by working odd jobs and slowly raises the money for his dream. In doing so\, he unknowingly helps a dodgy publican called Rankin to sell opium to the local Aboriginal people living nearby. Smiley’s adventures are just beginning… Smiley\, and the 1958 Smiley Gets A Gun were released in the UK and US and went onto become international successes when few Australian films were being made.

Listen to an older generation of Australian accents; watch two-up games and immerse yourself in a 1950s country sensibility. Smiley has an alcoholic drover father and an overworked mother. He saves up for a new bike by working odd jobs and slowly raises the money for his dream. In doing so\, he unknowingly helps a dodgy publican called Rankin to sell opium to the local Aboriginal people living nearby. Smiley’s adventures are just beginning… Smiley\, and the 1958 Smiley Gets A Gun were released in the UK and US and went onto become international successes when few Australian films were being made. On a bit of trivia\, young Colin Petersen went on to become the Bee Gees drummer. Roadshow. 								\n				\n									\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n									Australia\, 1956\, USA/Britain\, 93 min. Dir: Anthony Kimmins.
