Anachronisms: The Sun Records pressing of Jerry Lee Lewis's "Real Wild Child," played several times in the movie, could not have existed in 1962. Lewis did record the song for Sun, but in the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth (which includes Australia), Sun records were released on the Decca label under license from the U.S.-based Sun company. The record could not be an American import, either, because it has a small spindle hole instead of the large hole on all American 45s of the period. moreSoundtrack:

I just saw this and though a lot of people complained of this movie being slow I adored it. One of our best Australian movies to date. It has a moving story, terrific and very realistic actors but the only problem was the pace. Everything was brilliant but it just avoided perfect with its pace which is a bit of a let down for a movie that everyone knows could have been and kind of is everything. Eric Bana is brilliant and the wife Franka Potente was so good I really understood her character. The movie was a bit predictable at times but it had a sweet ending, interesting character and superb character development. A must see for people probably over thirteen. (Some of the themes are very strong.)
