gosh I love these old movies, I wish we could go back to such a wonderful time..
Those "squalid substandard houses" in Sydney and Melbourne are now worth millions, lol!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you! 👍 😊
Thanks Noelene.
@blindtoby Glad You looked it too👍
Beryl and Ada are a right pair of Sorts. They had better watch out for the pair of lairs at the flicks .Her mum had better take her to the "clinic ' or else they will end up in the "club' and have to take a trip "to the country" for 8 months. That bonzer pinstripe zoot suit would have been a real panty dropper in those days. .
With all our technology and specialist social services what happened/happening?I believe a lot of vagrancy and social issues start at home.I agree with this film even today.Parents/guardians can take greater responsibility for their children's wellbeing.Not palm off to play groups away from home,creches,prep centres.Why can't women or men at home organise with other parents/guardian to share houses with their children for play time?at Least $500,000 mortgage and complaining about play centres closing down.Organise and share weekly visits to each others houses with the children, cups of tea/coffee in the home/backyard.Excessive debt can become a burden to the whole family psychology long term.
Sadly we don`t live in the 50s any more.
True.But there are still some good ideas that can be implemented from past successes.@@Homeo67
@@ariesred777 I was being facetious and from reading a lot of what happened in the 50s not a lot of good came from it.
We can diagnose children better now from Autism to physical impairments like sight and hearing and cater for it.
The generations coming up will be the "daycare" generation whose parents were too busy trying pay a mortgage / rent instead of raising their children.
Agree with you tho in point and not much can be done now.
@blindtoby Australians of todaty you mean .
"Don't worry, big brother will drag it out of them."
The Narrator has a great voice..
I don't recognise any of these streets or laneways, would anybody know where they are and do they still exist?
Sydney, I reckon. All the slums were pulled down after the war.
@Anita McGuire Ruth Parks was born in the same little town I was ,before living in Sydney. Her Biography paints a really dismal picture of Sydney Prior to 1960 . They even had the bubonic plague !. Often a few of those terrace houses still stand today and remember them as being really rough decades ago,today i doubt i could afford to walk past them ha ha
Does anyone know what the theme music is? Shazam won't pick it up unfortunately.
Andrew - It’s J.S Bach, cantata 140. Otherwise known as ‘Wachet Auf’.
