    I need help from all you Aussie's out there.

    Most people I know have never heard of this movie. It was written by John Ellis (I believe) and deals with a young adolescent man's loss of faith (Seventh Day Adventists) during the early sixties. I never laughed so much. The man could have been a witness.

    Does anyone else remember it?

    Darry,

    The movie was probably made in the late eighties. It was shown on canadian television a couple of years back (came across it by accident while cruising channels-showcasee channel). I've never gone to the trouble to see if it can be specialy ordered but I would definitiely pay a hundred bucks plus to get it fot my personal collection.

    You gotta see this movie then (you'll never cring and laugh so much at the same time)! The camping assembly scenes are worth it alone, it's not just some dumb "coming of age" movie as the google description makes out (the author's real life experiences).

    Again, has anybody else seen rhis movie?
