Sunday in Melbourne

- An experiment in the creative use of colour visuals, natural sound and dialogue commentary, this film shows the loneliness of the aimless wanderers in the city streets contrasted with those who have companionship on their Sunday. (Award: Special Award for an Experimental Film in the Australian Film Awards, Melbourne Film Festival, 1958).

Wow how times have changed this is when we dressed up to go to town
Now its bogan's in tracksuit trousers and the like. I once emailed the MCC saying that bogan clothes and thongs should be banned from Melbourne CBD. It did not happen.
I still dress like that now
You know I really miss that quietness and stillness of an old Sunday where nothing was open except for Victoria Market when I was a kid in the 1980's..I remember in 1990 that at 11 I overheard that melbourne was going to consider having open trading hours and I thought that this was the best thing ever! Only because melbourne/the city were once so good. Now at 44 I can't bear to be in the city any longer than an hour and will find any excuse to leave not go there of I can?! 34 years has changed alot and go figure!
I remember the opening of the new city square on Collins & Swanston sts in the early 80's was such a big deal and eventually became a bad cruddy hangout spot. Now today its a hotel i believe
1958... Melbourne was a population of 1,735,000, and growing at a rate of 3.27%
Yes. Good Old Melbourne Town. It had to be Pre- War.
You never gave the year.
"Post Office Boys" I actually think they are poor men buggered up by WWI and WWII
Back from 1958 when Melbourne's population was 1.65 million. Today in 2021 it is around 4 million.
Try 5 million

The Age had Newsday in competition as well to Herald and Sun.
After launching within 9 months it was it withdrawn as ardent byers of the Herald and the Sun went back to them
Two Yorkshire men were standing outside a Burton's and one of them pointed at a shop window dummy ,with a man's 3 piece suit on it and said " That's the one eyed git ! " Just then a Cyclops walking around the Corner at that moment and saw him pointing and saying it , kicked his head in !
Is that lovely lake and park Victoria Gardens?
Could it be the Botanical Gardens near Government House?
Where's Lovely Lake?
Haha, good to see a bit love story in it.
Great dress standards. No thongs, no poor fitting track suits nor grubby vagrants.
The SUN-HERALD is a Sunday paper from Sydney not Melbourne!
So how is the woman reading this paper on Sunday in Melbourne??
Sharp eyes there Graeme!! Perhaps she's a visitor to Melbourne and brought it with her? She might be an ex-pat Sydneysiders who's made the wise choice to move to Melbourne but couldn't let the need for Sydney news go. :-)
The Sun Herald was a Sydney newspaper, however it would have been sold in Melbourne in some newsagencies, perhaps flown in. Whatever, the lady was certainly in Melbourne.
Melbourne had the Sun and the Herald the sun in the morning the Harald on the evening, then it merged into the Herald Sun.
Same publisher did both papers, the sun was in competition with the Age
Melbourne did not have Sunday newspapers printed at the time - part of the very theme in this film. Sydney papers were indeed sold here with the small spoiler paper the Sunday Press starting in the 1970s as a joint venture between the Herald and Weekly Times and The Age. Also we had the Melbourne Observer/Sunday Observer at the same time. Full line newspapers finally arrived in Melbourne in 1989.
