1981
Actors Mel Gibson and David Argue and director Peter Weir talk with TV host Mike Walsh about the film 'Gallipoli' (1981).
Gibson and Argue discuss playing characters that might seem innocent or naive to 1981 audiences and Gibson describes the physical challenges of his role.
'Gallipoli' was an immediate success in Australia and attracted international acclaim when it was released in 1981. The film showed Gibson’s dramatic range as an actor just months before 'Mad Max 2' (AKA 'The Road Warrior') cemented his worldwide fame.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
