“This was released in Australia in Oct 1964 on a double featureu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ewith KISSIN COUSINS the Elvis Hillbilly musical. The duo did prettyu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003efab biz because Elvis films were all the go here, and FLIPPER wasu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ein release, and The Beatles feature HARD DAYS NIGHT was onu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eevery other week. In fact these films basically alternated in u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ecinemas everywhere, week after week. In between HOOTNANNYu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHOOT and BYE BYE BIRDIE we had a lovely time with all theseu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003efilms…TIKO is a shark version of Flipper. Charming in a native Jayu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNorth kinda way. Some cinemas also ran RHINO just to spice upu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethe international flavour. That is, if they werenu0026#39;t screening HATARI,u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eor SAMMY GOING SOUTH…..all in release here at the same time. Iu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethink you could shuffle reels among all these films and still get theu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003esame result. Great fun for 10 year olds. Did someone also sayu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFASTEST GUITAR ALIVE or THE OUTLAWS IS COMING too? maybe MAYA or even HOLD ON? TOBY TYLER? This seemed tou003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ebe the 1964 movie diet here.”
