Night Club (A. R. Harwood, 1952) Production Company: Cambridge Films. Producer: David Bilcock. Screenplay, Scenario, Script: A R Harwood. Photography: Len Heitman. Editor: Barbara Baxter. Art Director: Bill Slatter. Song: 'Just for a Time', composed by Geoff Kitchen. Ballet: Olive Wallace. Production Manager: Rudy Unger, Neil Duncan. 55 mins. Cast: Joey Porter (Nick Arnold), Joff Ellen (Joss), Joan Bilceaux (Nita Fleming), Colin Crane (James Winters), Frank Holbrook (Bill Winters), Marjorie Harwood (Joan McDonald), Alex Roy (Jack Hanson) Ray Jones (compere), Reg Glenny (detective), Johnny Goodwin (cleaner), Barney March, Lloyd Nairn, the Clarence Sisters, the Leonard Boys, the Spencer Trio, the Geoff Kitchen Quintette. Bill Winters goes to a country town to work quietly on the script for a musical show. There he sees some local variety acts and persuades his wealthy father to present them in a city night club. The show is a success, despite an attempt by a jealous singer to cause disruptions. Night Club was Harwood's last attempt to re-enter feature production. In retrospect it seems to have been ill-fated from the start. For his subject he chose to remake Show Business (or at least one of its twin plots), even though he had failed commercially with the story the first time. Minimal finance of about £7000 was provided entirely by a Melbourne documentary firm, Cambridge Films. Shooting began in July 1952, with Harwood's daughter as the leading ingenue, Harwood himself (under his given names of Alex Roy) as a Puckish private detective, and a number of amateur and semi-professional variety artists. For the sake of economy, sound (including the musical items) was recorded 'wild' on a simple wire recorder, and it proved impossible to achieve perfect synchronisation in editing. After private previews at the end of 1952 the film virtually disappeared, although small distributors such as Ray Films occasionally arranged one-night stands in suburban and country theatres over the next few years.

Peter Mattessi, "Highs and lows: underneath the surface of One Perfect Day", Metro, 140, 2004: 36-40; brief review of DVD release: Matthew Goodwin, Empire, 43, October 2004: 103: "hypnotically awful"

"Oz is a 'rock'n'roll road movie' with the narrative structure of The Wizard of Oz (1939). Dorothy is now a groupie in search of the king of rock performers, the Wizard; the Straw Man is a vague and gentle surfie, the Tin Man a country car mechanic, and the Lion a timid and self-pitying bikie dressed in fearsome black leather."

Dubbed by its director as a 'psychological thriller cum 50s rock musical/science fiction/fantasy movie ... the only A-grade B-movie loathed by underground, art-house and commercial managements alike', Shirley Thompson Versus The Aliens was the story of a 'widgie' in the 1950s in Sydney who is visited by aliens from outer space. Shirley and her gang try desperately to convince Australia that the aliens exist, but their message is ignored by the closed minds of the Menzies era. Shirley is assumed to be insane and is committed to an asylum where she repeatedly narrates her story to psychiatrists. (Pike & Cooper)

Two brothers, Bill and Wally Winter, become infatuated with a scheming gold-digger, Nina Bellamy, who persuades them to ask Sir James, their wealthy father, for £10,000, so that Bill can produce a professional stage show and Wally a movie, both to star herself. Sir James discovers the truth about Nina and gives the money to his sons on condition that they leave town in secret for one month to write their shows, and that they use only newly-discovered talent in their casts. Bill visits a country town where a local group is rehearsing an amateur floor show; impressed by their work, he buys their show and brings it to the city where it opens with great success.

Showgirl's Luck (Norman Dawn, 1931) aka Talkie Mad; Production Company: Australian Talkies. Screenplay, Scenario, Script: Martyn Keith. Photography: Norman Dawn, Jack Fletcher, Walter Sully.

The director, Norman Dawn, wrote that Showgirl's Luck 'followed the accepted formula of the typical American musical of the period ... It had the usual simple straight line plot upon which was hung as many musical numbers as could be worked in' (N Dawn notebook, NFSA). The heroine is Peggy Morton (played by Dawn's wife, Katherine, under the stage name of Susan Denis), who works as the star of a touring tent show in rural Queensland. She is offered the lead in the first Australian talkie, being made in Sydney, but a rival, Mona Blake, tells her that the offer has been withdrawn and Mona goes to the Blue Mountains film location in her stead. Meanwhile Peggy's tent show closes and she finds a job by posing as a Swedish maid. By chance she is employed at the same hotel being used by the film company, and she soon learns of Mona's deception. Mona's husband attempts to abduct Peggy, but an actor, Barry, beats off the kidnappers. As the company prepares for the first scenes of the talkie, Peggy appears and Mona departs in disgrace, leaving Peggy to stardom and the attentions of Barry. (Pike & Cooper)
