Don't Call Me Girlie: The True Story Of Australia's Movie Heroines On And Off The Screen |
| Comments |
The documentary is a good overview of women in Australian cinema and contains rare archival material which is otherwise extremely difficult to view.
The documentary's type of interviews vary depending on who is being interviewed; generally they have an anecdotal slant and are unfortunetly edited into small sequences. Most of what is revealed on camera is also avaliable in published books. |
| Synopsis |

Covers Twelvetrees work in Australia, with breif footage of Twelvetrees civic reception and a segment of her speech, and the crowds.
