35MM Three In One (1956)

The Story

Starting out as an adaptation of a Frank Hardy story, Three in One became three stories; by Hardy, by Rex Rienits (adapting a Henry Lawson classic), and by Ralph Peterson, each with linking introductions by actor John McCallum. All three reflect on aspects of Australian life with a rare, straightforward honesty. Cecil Holmes debut feature revealed a film-maker of great talent, a committed leftist and a champion for social justice.

“…full of energy and promise. An honest and determined attempt to create a national style.” – Pike & Cooper, Australian Film 1900-1977

This film will be screened on a 35mm print from the collection of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. Cinema Reborn acknowledges the generous support of the NFSA.
