This was the last place I would have expected to stumble across a doco about film making in Melbourne. But here we are!
I was hanging around Carlton in the late 1970s and the 1980s, so I had some fun landmark spotting. The Carlton Moviehouse, I regret, has been converted to offices. But I did see a few films there. And it thoroughly deserved its nickname of ‘The Bughouse!’
Johnny’s Green Room was a good place to eat, although the furniture was pretty spartan as I recall. It’s a pity there wasn’t a John Duigan type around Lygon Street during the 1980s. There was a menswear/tailor who papered his windows with unpaid bills. And no names redacted!
Thanks for a new look at my old home town.
