The Bradman Era (1982)

Synopsis

Former test cricketer Bill O’Reilly recalls the test matches, mainly in the 1930s, with Don Bradman and other notable players. The documentary intercuts Bill O’Reilly’s interview with archival footage.

Curator’s notes

The documentary is more a record of cricket history than a biography. Cricket fans will find it informative.
