Barry McKenzie Holds His Own (0%)

Plot: Barry Crocker stars as Barry McKenzie, a footloose Australian yokel who journeys to England to be cultured, only to find himself tutored in the delightfully seedy and sexually perverse. Directed by Br...( read more read more... )uce Beresford, this classic bawdy also stars Barry Humphries, who appears in drag as Aunt Edna Everage -- a character who would later become the now-iconic Dame Edna -- and also penned the original comic strip upon which the film is based.

    After he comes into a small inheritance, Barry McKenzie (Barry Crocker) sets off for England with his aunt, Edna Everage (Barry Humphries), to advance his cultural education. Bazza is an innocent abroad, fond of beer, Bondi and beautiful ?sheilas?, but he soon settles into the Australian ghetto in Earl?s Court, where his old mate Curly (Paul Bertram) has a flat. He gets drunk (often), ripped off (more often), insulted by effete Englishmen (constantly) and exploited by record producers, religious charlatans and a pretentious BBC television producer (Peter Cook). He leaves England in disgust, after exposing himself on national television.

    I should first warn you that this is full of tasteless, ribald Australian humour, but nevertheless it is clever in it's own way and riotously funny in parts. It's a fruitier forerunner of Crocodile Dundee, about a niave young Australian guy who goes to London, where in true Australia style, he spends it with other beer-swilling Aussie and gets into a whole lot of interesting scrapes. You will learn more expressions than you thought ever possible to say "going to the toilet" and "sexual intercourse". It's Australians taking the piss out of themselves which is great.
