It was such a special book and the film is much-anticipated, especially in the hands of St John’s close friend and guardian of her literary estate, Bruce Beresford. He has assembled an interesting cast of stars and newbies in Julia Ormond, Angourie Rice, Rachael Taylor, Alison McGirr, Ryan Corr, Vincent Perez, Susie Porter, Shane Jacobson and Noni Hazlehurst to bring to life a young girl’s entry into the big wide world. Set in the summer of 1959, when the impact of European migration and the rise of women’s liberation is about to change Australia forever, a shy schoolgirl (Lisa) takes a summer job at the prestigious Sydney department store, Goode’s. There she meets the “ladies in black”, who will change her life forever. Beguiled and influenced by Magda, the vivacious manager of the high-fashion floor, and befriended by fellow sales ladies Patty and Fay, Lisa is awakened to a world of possibilities and grows from a bookish schoolgirl to a glamorous and positive young woman In cinemas, September 20 |
