    A feel good movie

    I think this movie deserves better exposure. It is a feel good movie - one that is bound to be of interest to an audience of all ages. The problems the family encounters both before their rise into the wealthy upper crust of South Australian society, as well as those which they face largely due to their inherited wealth makes for a truly moving tale. It's interesting how money so quickly seduces most of the family members and changes their personalities so dramatically. Perhaps it's a warning to all those hoping to win fame and fortune in all the various aspects of gambling be it in lotteries or on the racecourse. John Bach's acting was superb. I think he very realistically portrayed the attitude of men in the depression years.

    Absolutely Charming!!

    Golden Fiddles is a charming, funny and dramatic story about a less fortunate Australian family; the parents, Anne (Kate Nelligan) and Walter (John Bach) who lives in poverty with their four children; Norman (Cameron Daddo), the oldest brother, Kitty (Rachel Friend), Elsa (Pippa Grandison) and little Bob, (Hamish Fletcher)who also is the narrator. They love each other endlessly and though they are poor and cannot buy material things, they appreciate other things like their health and little triumphs like winning a bakery contest. One day the mother, Anne (Kate Nelligan) inherit a large fortune and the family´s life change drastic.

    We follow them through love problems, drinking, people who are false and a lot more.

    The actors are doing very well, especially Kate Nelligan as Anne and Cameron Daddo as Norman Balfour, the older of the two brothers.

    This is one of my favorite series!
