Ginger Meggs (1982)
Visually brilliant Aussie delight
24 June 2015
I was delighted to view this movie for the first time recently on Foxtel. I always enjoyed the comic strip as a kid. This movie is certainly not politically correct by today's standards but it fairly represents (in a comic book way) life for kids in the 1940-1960 era. It is beautifully filmed but the acting is all over the place. I loved Gary McDonald as Mr Meggs. It is probably a bit too long but very enjoyable for anyone who remembers those good old days. Of course the story is a bit far fetched but forget that and just enjoy the visuals. I would go so far as to say that this is destined to be an Aussie Classic with the increased exposure on Foxtel and DVD. It deserves it.
