Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe department store scenes were shot on the 7th floor of the David Jones building in the Sydney CBD. The 7th floor had remained disused for many years and still looked just as it did in 1959. The film crew only had one day to film these scenes as the next day renovations were due to begin on the building and the 7th floor would be inaccessible.
- GoofsNumerous Sydney electric trams are featured in the film, set in November/December 1959, it should be noted that all the electric trams in the Sydney CBD, were all replaced by diesel buses. Ending 100 years of tram services, Sydney's last electric tram ran in the Sydney CBD from Hunter Street in the city and then along Elizabeth Sreet in the city, Oxford Street, and along Anzac Parade to La Perouse on 25th of February 1961.

Featured review
I loved this movie!
I loved this movie! It doesn't pull its punches but it isn't a social commentary film, at all. It's kind of a "warts and all" depiction of changing attitudes in 1959 Australia. Adapted from a best selling novel, it won the 2018 Australian "Oscars" (AACTA) awards for Original Score, Lead Actress, Costumes and Hair and Makeup. Great cast, authentic characters, slice of life storytelling. I give this movie an enthusiastic 9 (superb) out of 10. {Optimistic Drama}
