    More of a documentary than a drama, a 'docu-drama' if you will, 'The F.J. Holden' movie delivers up Bankstown, NSW, Australia, as it really was for us local rev-heads in the late 1970s.

    Great Movie. Stretham Ave is the name of the street that he drives out of and turns left into Kennedy St. I lived two streets up from Stretham Ave in Prince St. I was 15 back then and I remember when they were filming some of the scenes. Loved watching how Bankstown use to look . Takes me back....

    Wow, they had P Plates back in the 70s. That was actually quite surprising to me since they have only been compulsory in Queensland for a couple of years..
    Other than that, an absolutely beautiful car. I was lucky enough to ride in one yesterday.

      Its on the corner of Ashby Ave and Charlton St Yagoona. The house was demolished in 2015, and replaced by a 2-storey house. Most of the neighbouring houses in this scene have also been demolished and rebuilt.

      no, but my friend worked with Kevin at CBC bearings, Auburn in 1978. My friend, who is 10 years older than me, says he remembers Kevin coming into the office and saying to everyone 'hey! I'm gonna be in a movie!''. But I never met Kevin myself.
