Gentle b/w film set on Lavender Bay, Sydney Harbour

Sweet Aussie short film about a henpecked husband who finds a way to express himself. Enjoyable and humorous though probably a bit slow by today's standards. Has been used by "men's groups" as an example of a man realising his dreams. Fantasy sequences are well used to show his aspirations. Women characters are somewhat stereotyped but typical of portrayals of the period (1971). The setting of Lavender Bay wharf, Sydney Harbour is a bonus with the harbour and Bridge looking beautiful and recognisable to a wide audience. The story was based on a book by Hugh Atkinson and the Little River Band wrote a song "The Long Jumping Jeweller of Lavender Bay" which starts: "Everybody can't be heros, but some can still try, to make their lives a little different before the time it goes by, now I live up around the north shore in a room with no view, every morning on that ferry, my view is filled with you."
