An eye-opening Aussie sex romp from the 1970s starring Jack Thompson and Sam Neill, The Journalist is a wildly humorous study of infidelity and the pressures of professional life in the media.

Handsome ladies' man Simon Morris (AFI Award–winner Jack Thompson) is a top reporter and feature writer for a major daily newspaper. Recently separated from his wife, Simon is the sort of bloke who finds it hard to say no, particularly when it comes to his relationship with women. Fiancée Liz Corbett (Elizabeth Alexander) might be madly in love with him, but Simon has other conquests on his mind. When he is saddled with a new job and pushy new boss Sid Mitchell (AFI Award–winner Charles 'Bud' Tingwell), Simon's world is not only turned upside-down, but his life has literally gone to the dogs. With jealous buddy Rex (AFI Award–winner Sam Neill) by his side, Simon will need all the help he can get to write himself out of trouble.

Directed by Michael Thornhill and featuring a stellar line-up of Aussie talent including Slim DeGrey, Frankie J Holden, Penne Hackforth-Jones and Frank Wilson, The Journalist is a colourful 1970s 'sexcapade' in the tradition of Australian classic Alvin Purple.
