stories from the golf

Cliff Ellen and Monica Maughan in Stories from the Golf. In the service of one of my forthcoming books I am forced, forced to watch a lot of Australian comedy DVDs and this is one of them, from 2003. It's the first Robyn Butler/Wayne Hope series - 5 minute stories all revolving around one hire car (the Golf). Butler and Hope are the usual stars but sometimes there's some real surprises and this was one of them. A really simple and dare I say touching story with some funny things thrown in. Good series! 

a city's child - burial scene

Next time Perry and I go to the Melbourne General Cemetery we'll make sure to track down where this scene was shot which comes just before the opening credits to A City's Child, Brian Kavanaugh's 1972 film starring Monica Maughan as 'the woman'. It's a very good film, by the way.
