Made in the days when Australia was still Australian, and we had only just started down the road to Americanism. Biscuits were still called biscuits and not cookies. Baseball caps were rare. We used the word arse, not butt or ass. Films were films and not movies. "Malcolm" is probably one of the best examples of genuine Australian humour. It also typifies a way of life I remember so well. Inner city suburban living, trams, ice-cream vans, corner shops that sold nearly everything. Hotels with scungy, pokey, public bars, and even scungier clientele. If anyone wants to see a film showing Australians as they really were, before we were corrupted, see "Malcolm" 10 out of 10, and in my top 10 films.
