Smiley
Smiley Greevins (Colin Petersen) is a cheeky, mischievous, imaginative little boy who lives in the small town of Murrumbilla in the Australian outback. His father Bill (Reg Lye) is a poor drover who is often away from home. Much to the exasperation of his overworked wife, Ma Greevins (Margaret Christensen), Bill is also very fond of the drink. Smiley is determined to buy himself a push bike and so he takes on odd jobs in an effort to save up enough money. But Smiley always seems to get caught up in some sort of misadventure and he ends up becoming involved unwittingly in an illegal opium deal. With a charismatic performance by Chips Rafferty as the local Sergeant who has a soft spot for the boy, "Smiley" is a classic Australian film that will delight audiences of all ages.
