Cult Sinema Australiana presents: They're a Weird Mob

Based on the popular Australian comic novel written by John O'Grady under the pseudonym "Nino Culotta" (the name of the main character of the book), this is a “reverse Crocodile Dundee” fish-out-of-water comedy about a goofy, good-natured Italian immigrant, newly arrived in Australia. He expected to work for his cousin as a sports writer for an Italian language magazine. However, on arrival in Sydney Nino discovers that the cousin has abandoned the magazine, leaving a substantial debt to Kay Kelly. Nino declares that he will get a job and pay back the debt.

Curated & hosted by Jay Katz & Miss Death
