Caddie is the story of a fiercely independent young mother who, when confronted with her husband's infidelity, takes her children and leaves their comfortable middle class surroundings behind, to fend for herself.

Without skills, and faced with the responsibility of housing and feeding her kids, she gets work as a barmaid and when SP Bookie Ted (Jack Thompson) comes into the pub she earns herself a new name into the bargain. He calls her Caddie because she has "class and beauty", just like his brand new Cadillac automobile.

They're A Weird Mob (DVD) * Special 1 Week Only *     A$ 22.00

This DVD movie is no longer in production and hasn't been since December 2006. However, I have a few copies left.

The Aussie comedy sensation from the best seller by John O'Grady Writing as Nino Cullotta.

They're A Weird Mob is about Sydney, Weird Australia.

In 1965, a sprawling, growing city of three million people. Easy going, down-to-earth and hilariously funny people. In truth a very weird mob.

Into the city and fresh off the boat comes innocent, italian immigrant Nino Culotta who soon finds his promised sportswriter's job has vanished along with his bankrupt cousin and sponsor. A job as a builder's labourer comes his way and Nino quickly gets an education in how to be a fair dinkum Aussie, one of the "weird mob" with their outlandish language and strange ways.

Brought to the screen by the esteemed British producer-director Michael Powell ("The Red Shoes"), with a screenplay by his longtime collaborator Emeric Pressburger (under the pseudonym Richard Imrie), They're A Weird MOb stars versatile Italian actor Walter Chiari as "Nino" together with a who's-who of 1960's Australian show-biz legends including Chips Rafferty, Ed Devereaux, Slim DeGrey, John Meillon, Tony Bonner, Jeanie Drynan, Barry Creyton, Charles Little, Anne Haddy and Graham Kennedy.
