Ben Mendelsohn plays 18 year-old Danny Clark looking to increase his cool factor in order to secure the affections of Joanna, played by Claudia Karvan.

Danny offers to take Joanna out for a ride in a Jaguar as a way to impress her, but his actual vehicle is a 1963 Nissan Cedric which Danny does not find very 'cool'. In need of a Jaguar in a hurry, Danny decides to trade the Nissan Cedric in on a more impressive vehicle.

Gordon Farkas a used car salesman played by Steve Bisley tricks Danny into buying a 1973 Jaguar XJ6. The Jaguar engine, true to form blows up. After a confrontation culminating in Joanna leaving, an investigation of the engine reveals it's been swapped by Gordon Farkas. Danny naturally sets about seeking justice and winning back Joanna's affections. The film is peppered with quintessentially Australian humour of the time and is considered a cult classic, especially amongst Australian motoring enthusiasts.

I was so disappointed by The French Dispatch. Every punchline can be found in his previous work, other than Benicio it was just the same people playing the same people with a perfect pair of knockers thrown in to distract me from the facts that other than the set, the movie was not good.

The set and the knockers are enough.

Flower Drum Song is a 1961 American musical film directed by Henry Koster, adapted from the 1958 Broadway musical Flower Drum Song, written by the composer Richard Rodgers and the lyricist/librettist Oscar Hammerstein II, in turn based on the 1957 novel of the same name by the Chinese American author Chin Yang Lee. The film stars Nancy Kwan, James Shigeta, Miyoshi Umeki, Jack Soo, Benson Fong and Juanita Hall. It was nominated for five Academy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.

Flower Drum Song became the first major Hollywood feature film to have a majority Asian-American cast in a contemporary Asian-American story. It would be the last film to do so for more than 30 years, until The Joy Luck Club (1993).[4][5] In 2008, Flower Drum Song was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[6][7]
