Curtin, 2007

Saw the name of this movie, and tried to find the plot/summary on google.

There was none!

Crossed my fingers, and sat there, watching it regardless (thinking, perhaps it is one of some thrillers?)...

No such luck!

Turned out that this movie was about the 14th prime misnister of Australia, one among the greatest/best of Australia prime ministers: John Joseph Ambrose Curtin (1941-1945).

He made very wise decisions during his term in office (happened to be the time the second world war was about to happen), in order to protect Australia. He passed away while in office, 6 weeks before the war ended in the pacific.

A few of his brilliant of his decisons:

- put US General Douglas MacArthur in charge of Australia’s defence forces (instead of letting the British took over!).

- ensured that Australia was free of unemployment after the WWII.


(I stopped watching the movie, once I knew what it was about!)
