Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe department store scenes were shot on the 7th floor of the David Jones building in the Sydney CBD. The 7th floor had remained disused for many years and still looked just as it did in 1959. The film crew only had one day to film these scenes as the next day renovations were due to begin on the building and the 7th floor would be inaccessible.
- GoofsNumerous Sydney electric trams are featured in the film, set in November/December 1959, it should be noted that all the electric trams in the Sydney CBD, were all replaced by diesel buses. Ending 100 years of tram services, Sydney's last electric tram ran in the Sydney CBD from Hunter Street in the city and then along Elizabeth Sreet in the city, Oxford Street, and along Anzac Parade to La Perouse on 25th of February 1961.

Featured review
The casting for this movie was masterful. Shane Jacobson was fabulous as rhe 1950's Aussie dad and Ryan Corr was perfect in his role as the Hungarian "reffo". He owned that character! Julia Ormond played a Slovenian fashion guru to a tee and the sets were marvellous. From the department store in Sydney centre to the flat by the water in Mosman and the suburban, red texture brick house in Granville... spot on. A feel-good movie that has you laughing and reflecting on it for days afterwards.
