| Comments |
A good old fashioned adventure with some surreal elements including a one-eyed speed boat driver with a penchant for crashing into wharfs.
Nice to see Matthew Excell (Izzy from 'Fatty and George') got another acting gig. Look out for the office boy extra who looks suspiciously like a slimmer, older Fatty making a cameo. |
| Synopsis |
Four kids and two old seadogs decide to renovate an old boat ('The Lady') in an effort to stop the evil government minister from destroying it. Save the Lady was shot on 16mm and is 76mins in length. |
