Clip description
Tony (Richard Moir) recognises two youths (Shuvus and Lou Brown) in a country café, as the ones who stopped to pick him up earlier before speeding away, laughing. When they become aggressive outside the café, Tony takes a tyre lever to their vehicle, watched by a blonde woman (Judy Morris) driving an old Buick. She agrees to give him a lift.
Curator’s notes
A good example of the film’s high-spirited humour, and its acute awareness of social divisions within Australian society. Tony is urban and tougher than he looks; the two country boys are just babies, really. Judy Morris’s character is clearly from a different class entirely – an urban sophisticate. Much of the film’s humour is about these social divisions within a narrow, youthful age range.
