that a low budget, made-for-TV Aussie movie from 1986 could be a cult classic and fondly remembered by people all over the world over 20 years later.
I have just discovered this gem and was amazed.
Aussie Aussie Aussie!
A few days ago, on Australia Day, I was having lunch with some friends in Leichardt in Sydney, and later standing out on the street realised that Rachel Ward and her husband Bryan Brown were just a few feet away from me. I've recently had the exact same experience as a lot of people here, having rediscovered the movie after 20 years of remembering bits and pieces (in particular, the underground cave, Father Christmas, and Sally standing with a torn dress holding a spear) and only a month ago purchased a copy via ebay from America. I wanted to gush all this out to her, but of course didn't have the guts (and didn't want to bug them). But it was still a treat seeing her close up.
shareLucky you! She was mad-hot in that movie!
