@juve98 Dear juve., Thanks for your response. . Glad to hear that a re-mastered one is about; the crisp scenes of Sydney remind me of my actual experiences of the era. When I was in N.S.W. recently, I saw on television some re-mastered things that aren't on local t.v. in London. . Cheers. from, del-boy. .

@YesYesYoureRight Hi I dont remember if I replied your question , but if I didnt the DVD of the movie THEYRE A WEIRD MOB has been re- mastered and looks great. Also there is a great documentary on the making of the movie on the same DVD in special features.

@juve98

Dear Juve, is that DVD digital re-mastered, or is it some crinkly old thing with bad vision, like when i was broadcast on television?

Cheers.

[follows]"Il regista Michael Powell vuole che sia Walter Chiari ad interpretare Nino Culotta, un giornalista italiano emigrato a Sydney, che pur conoscendo bene la lingua inglese trova difficoltà di adattamento per il particolare slang australiano e le usanze del posto. Grazie all'enorme esperienza teatrale e cinematografica ed all'ottima conoscenza della lingua inglese, Chiari sarà protagonista di una riuscitissima prova interpretativa, riscuotendo un enorme successo di pubblico e di critica"

From the Italian version of Wikipedia about Italian great actor Walter Chiari, who's the star of this Australian movie:

"Nel 1966 viene scelto come attore protagonista per il film "They're A Weird Mob" (tradotto in italiano come "Sono strana gente"). E' uno dei film fondamentali per la storia della cinematografia australiana, tratto da una famoso romanzo di John O' Grady".[follows]

I saw the movie when I was a kid and remember enjoying it. Would love to see the whole thing again.

What a quirky piece of film to end up on You tube. Certainly not one of the most popular postings on Youtube - but a really interesting commentary on the Australian pysche in the late 50s early 60s. Incidentally, the movie is a classic comic piece that not enough people have had the pleasure of seeing. A great great movie full of laughs (if you can understand the Aussie humour).
