These are scenes from a movie, right? What movie is it?

[FILMAUSTRALIA]

@Kognito72 Not a movie. Real life 1960's Adelaide - or a version of real life anyway.

My people, and how we roll!

i dont reckon an awful lot has changed

[bobob4477]

This almost is a modern day version. All we need to do is update fashion and music. Nothing else in Adelaide has changed all that much..

[mikesj101]

How much fun would it be to re-create this, a modern day version?

[conman62]

Well that was just fantastic.

Rundle street, Cox Foys, Flash Gelati, Popeye boat in the Torrens, Glenelg without the monstrous block of flats everywhere.

I would have been 4 or 5 when this film was made.

So glad I found this clip!

[peetee99]

@N3ptuNe01 um this was 50 years ago! Perhgaps you're too dumb to read that

[CescSoler]
