THE PICTURE SHOW MAN (1977)

Director: John Power

Writer: Joan Long, Lyle Penn

John Mellion as Pop
Rod Taylor as Palmer
Also Judy Morris, Garry McDonald

A warm hearted film which reveals through its narrative the potentially forgotten history of travelling showmen - these men who journeyed rural Australia where cinemas were lacking, providing the passion and entertainment of the silver screen to audiences who wouldn't have otherwise had the opportunity. Delightful performances, in particular Garry McDonald, make this a trip worth taking.
