Synopsis

Graham Kennedy, the wisecracking “King of Television” in the 60s and 70s, went on to become a renowned character actor via standout roles in several classic Australian films including Dons Party (1976), The Club (1980) and Travelling North (1987). Each adapted from David Williamson plays, these immortal Kennedy films can now be enjoyed in one stunning DVD collection, along with episodes from Gra Gra’s hilarious 70s quiz show, Blankety Blanks.

The Club (1980)
Kennedy received an AFI best actor nomination for his role as a VFL Club President in this landmark film directed by Bruce Beresford.

Travelling North (1987)
A journey into love, tears and laughter that allowed Kennedy to fully explore his dramatic acting range. Also stars Julia Blake and Leo McKern.

Don’s Party (1976)
With mates John Hargreaves, Ray Barrett and Graeme Blundell, Gra Gra plays a cuckolded, sexually-frustrated photographer who duly embarrasses himself on election-night.

Blankety Blanks (1977)
These classic episodes of the bawdy quiz show see The King at his jocular best.
