Great film to watch. A very good historical record of the building of the Sydney Opera House and some of the personalities involved. I've always liked this line written by Bob Ellis for the introduction to the 1968 film 'Autopsy on a Dream'. "The Sydney Opera House the product of a people who had a genial bash at culture and then went back to there beer. In a land were there is always a king tide running and a summer to spend forever on the beach in a Pepsi Cola culture in a gentler Texas of the South Seas ....where the rough idealism of the bush anthem of the fathers is a far cry from the virile materialism of the sons... where history is regarded as a European luxury and culture a distraction from the serious business of pleasure. Where noble headlands submerge under a sea of red bungalows it seems a bit odd that the people of this place should perform a cultural act of faith and build an Opera House when they had nothing to put in it."
