The Spag(1962)

movie - first aired/released 1962-07-27 - 35 min

Directed by Giorgio Mangiamele

Director Giorgio Mangiamele produced the first examples of multicultural cinema in this country. 'The Spag' was shot in the streets of Carlton and tells the story of a newspaper boy working to support his widowed mother; along the way his life is fraught with racism. The film is Neo-Realist in style and makes interesting use of incidental music and post-sync dubbed dialogue track; a dog's bark is even mimicked by an actor's voice.
