The Mango Tree (1977)
Director: Kevin Dobson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Written and produced by former Hollywood actor Michael Pate, and starring his son, this is yet another slice of Aussie nostalgia, with the wide-eyed lad about to come to manhood as he and the century move into their late teens. The inevitable acquisition of wisdom is aided by a collection of veteran Queensland small-town eccentrics, notably grandma (Fitzgerald) and a professor (former ballet star Helpmann).Author: PT
