Melbourne: Films of the Fifties (1998)

A comprehensive overview of a fascinating decade in the history of Melbourne and its environs, and a tribute to the many filmmakers who recorded the major - and minor - events which occurred in Australia's southern capital during the 1950s. The story of this overlooked era is told through clips from an astonishing range of films - newsreels, documentaries, travelogues, advertisements, home movies, dramatic features and short subjects - with detailed commentary by Melbourne broadcaster Paul Higgins.
