Sunstruck
This light-hearted, marvellously enjoyable family comedy-drama stars Harry Secombe as a Welsh schoolteacher and choirmaster who emigrates to Australia to 'teach in the sun' - but finds reality falls somewhat short of the blissful image on the recruiting poster.

Anticipating a Bondi Beach lifestyle, Stanley Evans arrives in Kookaburra Springs to find a town with two buildings: an old pub and the ramshackle schoolhouse.
