| Comments |
The biggest grossing surf movie of its time, Morning of the Earth still has a mythical status amongst surfers of all ages in Australia. |
| Synopsis |
Albert Falzon's first feature was a succesful attempt to show surfing as a lifestyle, not a sport. The film was shot on the east coast of Australia, Bali and Hawaii, and features some of the best surfers in the world.
The stunning photography is still impressive today. |
