The post-war film world was dominated by the giants of Hollywood, but local heroes managed to achieve huge successes with local stories including Jedda and King of the Coral Sea. Lee Robinson produced features that launched the careers of many actors including Chips Rafferty, Rod Taylor, Ron Randell and Bud Tingwell. The political climate of the time and its impact on the industry is also examined.
