The
Adventures of Barry
McKenzie
1972
The
Adventures of Barry
McKenzie is a 1972
ocker comedy about the
Aussie who everyone in
Australia knows, Barry
McKenzie (Barry
Crocker). When Barry's
father dies, his
father leaves him
$2000 on the condition
that he spend it in
England spreading his
unique Aussie way.
Joined by his aunty
Edna Everage (Barry
Humphries, who
else...), he
reluctantly leaves and
finds himself getting
fleeced by the locals
as well as
confiscating the
precious Foster's
Lager. Once in
England, he meets up
with his friend Curly
who introduces him to
the Aussie sites in
London. In a pub, he
is asked to act in an
ad for a pervy ad
director, but when he
falls for his co-star
(Maria O'Brien), the
ad director stops him
from congress, much to
Barry's chagrin. Barry
and Edna meet up with
old friends the Gorts,
a typically British
family with an ugly
duckling daughter they
want Barry to marry,
but Barry manages to
escape only to be
taken in by jaded
hippie folk singers
who use him to make it
big. It turns out
Barry's a hit singing
one of Curly's
anti-Pommie poems. But
in the commotion to
get his services, he
is knocked out and
taken to hospital
where a dodgy
psychiatrist (Barry
Humphries, again)
declares him insane
because of his ocker
speak. Again he
escapes. His aunty
then takes Barry to
meet an old Aussie
friend Lesley, a
lesbian who has an
ex-husband (Peter
Cook) who is a
producer of a late
night BBC show and
wants Barry to spread
his infectious
behaviour, with
disastrous results.
Yeah, some of the
comedy has dated in
our PC environment,
but gross-out comedy
never dates and the
first Barry McKenzie
film is still a pretty
funny film. And let's
face it, it's such an
Aussie film that it
might just be
unwatchable to anyone
outside of Australia,
even the English (a
thing that is
ridiculously
compensated for in the
follow up). And boy do
the Poms cop it. The
only thing there is
more of is Foster's. A
fun film that is a
nostalgic reminder of
that continuing
rivalry between
Australia and the old
Country.
More
soon from the follow
up to this film, Barry
McKenzie Holds His
Own.
