Alfio (George Harlem) and Sam (Steve Bastoni) are friends, but Alfio plans to keep working as a fish-seller for his dad, and Sam is going off to join the Army. The two of them double date, but despite Sam's assumed affinity for his level-headed girlfriend Angie (Linda Hartley), both of them really prefer Alfio's gal Lola (Marie-Louise Walker, who is quite daring and outgoing. Lola, in turn, really prefers Sam, but marries Alfio. When Sam gets back from the army, Lola begins having an affair with him, which ruins things between Alfio and Sam when Alfio finds out. This story, set among the Sicilian community living in Melbourne, is based on the opera La Cavalieri Rusticana by Mascagni. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

In this interesting and well-developed teen adventure movie by Gary Conway, based on a novel by Colin Thiele, Ernie (Paul Smith) and a few of his friends in an opal-mining town in Australia take on the challenge of finding about $300,000 (Australian) in stolen opals. Sophie (Linda Hartley) joins up with the group and chases mercilessly after Ernie, who seems a willing target underneath it all, and Willie (Andrew Gaston) often has his hands full throwing back racist barbs with different degrees of intensity, depending on whether his "detractors" are friends or enemies. Surrounded by his friends and the adventure of discovering the stolen opals, Ernie's real drama lies in trying to work out a failing relationship with a father who has not known a day of responsibility in his life. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Here's another the raunchy British "Adventures" series, released on the heels of Adventures of a Private Eye. Christopher Neil plays the title character, a bloke named Sid South. In course of his job, Sid runs up against thieves, would-be spies, motorcyle salesmen, and a bevy of cute female tennis players. It was perhaps a "given" that he'd also run across a character named Crapper. The delightful Anna Quayle lends a bit of comic dignity to proceedings. Star Neil also wrote the film's incidental music. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
