520 _aThe Aussie Comedy sensation from the best seller by John O'Grady writing as "Nino Culotta". THEY'RE A WEIRD MOB is about Sydney, Weird Australia. In 1965, a sprawling, growing city of three million people. Easy going, dowm-to-earth and hilariously funny. In truth a very wierd mob. Into the city and fresh off the boat comes innocent, Italian immigrant Nino Culotta who soon finds his promised sportswriters job has vanished along with his bankrupt cousin and sponsor. A job as a builder's labourer comes his way and Nino quickly gets as education in how to be a fair dinkum Aussie, on of the "weird mob" with their outlandish language and strange ways. Brought to the screen by the esteemed British producer -director, Michael Powell with a screenplay by hos long-time collaborator Emeric Pressberger (under the pseudonym Richard Imrie), THEY'RE A WEIRD MOB stars versatile Italian actor Walter Chiari as "Nino"together with a Who's Who of 1960 Australian show-biz legends including Chips Rafferty, Ed Devereaux, Slim DeGrey, John Meillon, Tony Bonner, Jeanie Drynan, Barry Creyton, Charles Little, Anne Haddy and Graham Kennedy.
