The Night We Called It a Day
Rod Blue (Joel Edgerton), a down-on-his-luck 1970s Aussie rock promoter, struggles to find the one act that will turn his life and business around. Just as a relationship starts to bloom with his assistant Audrey (Rose Byrne), Rod secures the coup of his career; bringing the legendary Frank Sinatra to tour Australia. After a very close brush with the local press, all hell breaks loose when Frank (Dennis Hopper) calls a gossip columnist a two dollar whore. 114 Unions go on strike overnight. Sinatra and his entourage wake up hostages: no water, no phones, no food, no fuel for the plane until he apologises. But there are two things Sinatra never does; he never yawns in the presence of the woman he loves, and he never says he's sorry. The only thing left to do is persuade the national leader of the union movement, Bob Hawke (David Field), to help negotiate a solution. An entertaining blend of fact and fiction, this splendid yarn co-stars Melanie Griffith, Portia De Rossi, and David Hemmings.
