Random Shows From The Archives. Smiley 1956

This movie was released by London Films, but it is a dinki-di Australian film. Based on a 1945 novel by Moore Raymond, it is set in the fictional town of Murrumbilla. We first see Smiley Greevins (Colin Petersen) sitting in a tree, pretending to be "Captain Cook discovering Australia".
He is a boy with a vivid imagination and a whole world to explore. One of the enduring images of the film is the young boy in checked shirt and shorts racing on bare feet up the grassy hills nearby. He shares a secret waterhole with his friend Joey (Bruce Archer) where they fish and discuss the strange doings of the adults in the small town. He is determined to buy himself a pushbike he has seen in a catalogue, but it costs four pounds, an impossible sum. But not impossible to a resourceful young lad, who picks up all sorts of jobs, helped by the adults around him.
