The Barry McKenzie Movies (Paperback)

Based on Barry Humphries' comic-strip character, which appeared in the British satirical magazine Private Eye in the 1960s, the screenplay for 'The Adventures of Barry McKenzie' was written by Humphries and Beresford, the story line deriving from the culture clash between the Australian innocent 'Bazza' McKenzie and the English - from a taxi driver who takes Barry from Heathrow to Earls Court by way of Stonehenge, to the decadent upper classes with their public school fetishes, the swinging scene of pop music promoters and Jesus freaks, and eventually the hallowed halls of BBC television.
