Aussie cult comedy classic Malcolm will be onscreen at Little Creatures’ first ever outdoor cinema night this month.
Promoter Baden Parker-Brown said the night was “all about bringing people together to share a story over a cold beer”.
“What better way to enjoy the end of summer, than watching some classic Aussie films under the stars.”
The 1986 film tells the story of socially-awkward tram driver Malcolm, whose modest inner-city cottage is fitted with a variety of remarkable gadgets.
Malcolm’s boss (Bud Tingwell) sacks him when he discovers he has built a cut-down tram during work time using work materials.
With Malcolm’s mother dead and no other income, a local shop-owner advises him to take in a boarder, Frank (John Hargreaves) who brings his girlfriend Judith (Lindy Davies).
Later revealed as petty criminals, Frank and Jude team up with the technical genius Malcolm to stage a robbery.
Malcolm builds a getaway car which splits into two independently powered halves, which they use to elude police after Frank steals some cash from a bank customer.
The trio embark on high-tech, high-speed robberies turning the city of Melbourne on its head.
Doors to the cinema open at 7.30pm and screenings start after sunset around 8.30pm.
