| Synopsis |
Lynden Barber looks at the films chosen to be included in Celluloid Heroes and how they were mainly the box office successes.
These films despite 'ockerisms' and rough, tough, romantic copy were seen to reflect the national identity of Australia.
Too many good films that attacked the conventional the national Aussie idenity were ignored.
