the dinkum bloke is a 1923 australian silent film directed by raymond longford .

despite the title and the presence of arthur tauchert and lottie lyell in the cast , the film is not a direct sequel to the sentimental bloke ( 1919 ) or ginger mick ( 1920 ) .

it was known in the uk as a gentleman in mufti .

" kenny : the return of the decent aussie bloke in australian film comedy : throughout australian cinema history , the figure of the bloke has come in many guises : the lovable larrikin , the ocker abroad , the naive dad , and now , with the popularity of kenny ( clayton jacobson , 2006 ) , the decent everyman . felicity collins traces this history " by collins , felicity - metro magazine , issue 154 , october 2007 | online research library : questia

authenticity aside , the problem kenny raises for me is not so much its one - joke contribution to mockumentary comedy , in the footsteps of the office and kath & kim , but , rather , its transformation of australian comedy ' s national type from a beer - swilling larrikin or sex - crazed ocker into a decent bloke whose ultimate role in the social imaginary is to affirm and preserve the supposed decency , goodness and superiority of the australian way of life . by transforming the ' dinkum bloke ' into a ' decent aussie ' , kenny becomes an exemplar of a long - standing , popular and , arguably , deeply conservative strand in australian film comedy .

2014 sydney morning herald 29 july : the electorate is better educated than ever before , people are more financially successful and they see through the paradox that governments promise more and more but can achieve less . the starting point is to make the debate more dinkum .

given that clothing signifies so much in everyday life , it is not surprising that the sentimental bloke uses bill’s headgear and clothing to indicate his progress from drunken lout to responsible husband and father . in part , the bloke’s costumes infuse the film with cultural associations from the everyday world – as do any costumes . but once on the screen , their semiotic function is condensed , as the “authenticity” of everyday menswear combines with the “artifice” of filmmaking convention .

although it has been nearly a century since the 1915 publication of c . j . dennis’ verse narrative songs of a sentimental bloke , dennis’ comic use of the australian vernacular continues to endear the work to contemporary readers .

i saw little of him in those later years ; but the sudden and unexpected news of his passing affected me quite as much as if i had lost an old and valued friend . arthur had little to answer for at the judgement seat , for , despite many hectic experiences and an environment that tends to " toughness , " he remained always strangely unsophisticated and , in the true australian sense , ever a " dinkum bloke . "

[ 23 ] this paper deliberately focuses on perceptions at the time of the film’s release . in addition to bertrand and routt ( 1989 ) , previously cited , more recent writers who engage with the “authenticity” of the sentimental bloke include :

ironically , though , the bloke’s journey of “self realisation” aligns , to a great extent , with glamour’s endorsement of consumerism . where , then , does his journey diverge from those shown in hollywood films ?

london critics may not have gone so far as to suggest that dennis was australia’s bard , but the popularity of songs of a sentimental bloke indicates that australians reveled in dennis’ celebration of their nation’s distinctive vocabulary .

poor old arthur . even until the end he could never quite understand why , despite his growing baldness and other evidence of age , i would not consent to his playing the bloke in every subsequent interpretation of the part . i really believe that , after his success with the role , not only in australia , but in england as well , he ceased to be arthur tauchert , but became , and remained until the finish , the only real " sentimental bloke . "

when we were selecting the cast for the silent film version of " the sentimental bloke " we had much difficulty in choosing exactly the right type of man to play the leading part . finally , after many had been considered and rejected , the producer , mr raymond longford , wrote me from sydney that he had happened upon an ideal man to play the bloke . with the letter came a photograph of tauchert and a brief sketch of his stage career . i was not impressed , either by the photograph or the history .

the film had been completed and cut before i had my first opportunity of having a pre - view in adelaide , in company with the local sharebrokers , newspaper men and squatters who had taken a sporting chance and put up the money to back the filming of the " bloke " .

2014 sydney morning herald 14 july : what you write about your life in your autobiography is a little like what you say when under oath . when you call that autobiography this is my life it is a further affirmation that what i am telling you is the dinkum oil .

if some of the slang in the captions to this truly superior picture are translated into american slang , and if this translation process is carried just far enough to make the captions easy of understanding without destroying the racy flavor … then the sentimental bloke will be a great success . [ 45 ]

the sentimental bloke is essentially australian , but he belongs to the world at large , and his whims and fancies , his quaint philosophy and his altogether likeable personality , will be as readily welcomed in britain and the united states as in the land of his creation . [ 24 ]

the bloke ambles into the film’s opening scenes wearing a pale - coloured soft - felt hat with a darker band . the hat has no particular shape or style . its crown hasn’t been shaped ; by comparison , the fedora worn by ginger mick ( gilbert emery ) has pinches in the front of the crown .

this was not , however , the first time the sentimental bloke had been seen in california . the oakland enquirer reported in december 1919 that “the first showing in this country of an australian - made moving picture” took place at the st francis hotel . the reviewer , like the australian and british critics , responded positively , declaring that the film :

the bowler was worn informally when introduced in the 1860s . a favourite of working men , by the 1920s it nudged aside the top hat to become “correct day or business wear” , appropriate with an ensemble of black jacket / striped trousers or with the sort of dark lounge suit [ 59 ] worn by the bloke .

tell a humorous love story as bill ‘the bloke’ tries to reform his rough larrikin habits in order to win the affections of doreen , a young pickle factory worker . the book is full of examples of australian colloquialisms , particularly words relating to the world of the urban larrikin ( then a word meaning ‘hooligan’ ) .

early reviewers emphasised the “authenticity” of the sentimental bloke , an aspect of the film still much discussed . [ 23 ] indeed , today’s writers are as intrigued and perplexed by the links between “realism” and nation as were those writing at the time of the film’s release . a green room writer predicted that the “australian” nature of the film would ensure overseas commercial success :

1915 argus ( melbourne ) 9 june : gallipoli… our lads commenced to pinch themselves to make sure they were really under fire . they had been disappointed so often that now they could hardly believe they had the real thing . i heard one man say , ‘saida the dinkum oil at last ; no more furpheys ; ’ and that was the feeling all round .

even before the sentimental bloke was released , reviewers at an early private screening praised the “wonderful realism” of tauchert’s performance : “he might have been the actual ‘bloke’ who was born in the sordid slum areas …” [ 27 ] gilbert emery , playing ginger mick , was seen as similarly “authentic” with his “true woolloomooloo slouch and manners perfect for push life” . [ 28 ] “graceful” doreen ( lottie lyell ) was “natural and life - like from beginning to end of the larrikin romance” [ 29 ] , wrote one reviewer , while another said : “doreen … is impersonated with a naturalness and fitting charm that gives the real touch …” [ 30 ]

yesterday australians were struggling to understand how the self - proclaimed " wildlife warrior australian bloke " was killed on the innocuous venture by the whip of a stingray ' s barbed tail . the creature , which would only normally thrash out if threatened , struck with a reflex powerful enough to puncture a hole in the 44 - year - old conservationist ' s chest .

in a tragically short life , lottie lyell made an extraordinary contribution to the early development of the australian feature film industry , as well as establishing herself as one of australia ' s first film stars . committed to developing films in her own country , her career highlights included making and starring in one of the landmark silent features of the era - the sentimental bloke .

similarly , police photographs show the crooks’ clothing styles are replicated in outfits worn in the sentimental bloke . and far from presenting newly purchased costumes or just - built sets – or a romantic idea of poverty – the film invites the audience to notice time’s effects on surfaces , in the build - up of grease , dirt , and sweat , the wear - and - tear of fabrics .

2005 sydney morning herald 12 march : how do colleagues know when i am having a go at shane warne ? … they can see my fingers moving on the keyboard . look , i try not to do it all the time , honest ! but sometimes the compulsion just overwhelms me , as a hideous case of tall poppy syndrome grabs me by the throat and , fair dinkum , makes me do it .

the hats in the sentimental bloke are , in conclusion , incessantly chatty . not only do they “talk” for bill when he is inarticulate ; they “talk” about bill , telling stories about his personality , frame of mind , class and income ; and in these ways , they support the unfolding story . but most intriguingly , the hats also critique the narrative trajectory they have helped to create .

the bloke and doreen have a “ding dong row” over the attention doreen receives from the straw ’at coot . bill’s outfit , with new stiff white collar , displays his improved social standing , along with his involvement in consumer culture . topping it all off is a new hat : a dark , hard - felt bowler that contrasts to the earlier formless soft - felt hat .

the 1919 film the sentimental bloke , based on c j dennis ' s much - loved poem , also turned the tide in its sympathetic portrayal of city and working class life . in australian features up to this point virtuous women often came from wholesome country backgrounds , with their move to the city leading to them to corruption and bad habits . in contrast , lottie lyell ' s factory girl doreen is sweet , hardworking and funny , and is the moral compass that guides the larrikin ' bloke ' to a life of sober happiness . the film was released and praised internationally for the quality of its acting , the engaging blend of humour and pathos as well as and the charm and authenticity of its characters and locations . lyell ' s contribution to the film included production , screenplay and editing as well as playing the female lead .

. after a prolonged search for the male lead , longford chose a vaudeville performer and former laborer , arthur tauchert , to play bill , the " sentimental bloke . " lyell co - starred as the heroine , doreen , and is also believed to have co - authored the screenplay , written the titles , edited the film , and helped with the overall production including art direction . much of the film was shot on location in the sydney working - class suburb of woolloomooloo . the narrative is a striking departure from films like

in 1918 , when the sentimental bloke was made , menswear – including hats , “those great male emblems” [ 9 ] – contributed to changing ideas of masculinity . thus freud’s 1911 comment that “a hat is a symbol of a man ( or of male genitals ) ” [ 10 ] does not do justice to the complexity of headgear , which can signal a range of cultural dimensions :

it is easy to see , then , that the “natural” faces , clothes , sets and streets of the sentimental bloke held little appeal for audiences for whom glamour , beauty and consumerist inspiration were the hallmarks of a good film . “in view of the fact that 70 per cent of cinema audiences are women , ” stated bob dexter , “and women’s interest lies primarily in the garments of the principals , extraordinary care must be taken if australia desires to avoid the reputation of being a country of antiques . ”

for australians , the film’s “realism” affectionately celebrated australia ; for us audiences , the “realism” was , apparently , just ugly . the sentimental bloke was made far from hollywood where the screen glamour became fully established during the early 1920s – so that , when the film was trialled in the united states in 1922 , three years after the australian premieres , it was seen in the context of an aesthetic that was reaching maximum impact . [ 38 ] significantly , notions of beauty and glamour were entwined with american national pride , just as australians saw the film’s unassuming “authenticity” as proudly representing their nation .

later still , the bloke and doreen watch a theatre production of romeo and juliet . his new job in a printing works explains his small bow tie . it is difficult to be completely sure , but it seems that he still wears his old hat . but whereas , on their first date , the crown of the hat sometimes seemed to have a pork - pie shape , now it resembles a bowler , and the brim is jauntily turned up all around .

the interiors – shot on open - roofed sets at wonderland amusement park in bondi – are complete artifice that conscientiously communicates the characters’ impoverished lives . the bloke’s mean quarters , with its loud wallpaper , and even mar’s delft - filled sitting room , strongly resemble 1920s sydney police photographs of crime scenes . [ 34 ] cramped passageways , narrow sagging beds , mis - matched chairs , shelves with chipped paint , and even the way the furniture sits in the rooms : the film’s sets resemble the ghastly real - life interiors , illuminated by flashes from police cameras .

according to one enthusiastic reviewer , kenny is the kind of film airlines need to show on incoming flights to teach tourists about australian values : ' kenny is like the castle [ rob sitch , 1997 ] without the patronising or crocodile dundee [ peter faiman , 1986 ] without the brashness . . . its values are those of most australians , indeed most human beings . ' ( 1 ) online fans lauded the film for its ' very australian ' sense of humour , exemplified by the eponymous everyman kenny smyth ( shane jacobson ) - - ' the hard - working bloke ' notable for ' his complete decency as a human being ' . ( 2 ) the film ' s ' australian ' values , although never clearly specified by reviewers , seem to add up to a sense of humour , the capacity to appreciate an inventory of toilet jokes , and a home - spun philosophy which valorizes the ordinary aussie bloke ( oddly americanized in the press kit tagline as ' a lovable guy , in a not so lovable job ' ) .

with his catchphrases " crikey " and " look at that beaut ! " irwin acknowledged that some australians saw him as an anachronism . " they actually see a little bit of themselves when they see me and they find that a little embarrassing . i ' m fair dinkum , like kangaroos , winged keels and bloody flies . i think i ' ve got animals so genetically inside me that there ' s no way i could actually be anything else . "

cecil b demille defined his approach as “sex , sets and costumes” [ 57 ] , and , like other directors , used glamour’s glittering surfaces to explore sweeping post - war social changes . these productions “defined the limits of the moral revolution on the screen for the next decade” . [ 58 ] by 1922 , when the sentimental bloke reached the us , demille had already made over ten features with extravagant production design and tantalising titles like don’t change your husband ( usa , 1919 ) and old wives for new ( usa , 1918 ) .

one example of the older type was william farnham , whose trademark was his on - screen fistfights . [ 61 ] by comparison , the straw ’at coot , sleek and slim , looks somewhat like the new type of leading man , best exemplified by douglas fairbanks . fairbanks’ roles showcased his “playful physicality” [ 62 ] , and by the early 1920s , he had featured in expensive adventure films like the mark of zorro ( fred niblo ; 1920 ) and robin hood ( allan dwan ; 1922 ) – productions full of artifice and fantasy that contrasted strongly with the prosaic “authenticity” of the sentimental bloke .

very angry ; crazy ; eccentric . the phrase also takes the form mad as a snake . the different senses of the phrase derive from the fact that ‘mad’ has two main senses - ‘crazy’ and ‘angry’ . the ‘crazy’ sense is illustrated by ‘that bloke wearing a teapot on his head is as mad as a cut snake’ , and the angry sense is illustrated by ‘be careful of the boss this afternoon , he’s as mad as a cut snake’ . there are similar phrases in australian english including mad as a meat axe and mad as a gumtree full of galahs . mad as a ( cut ) snake is first recorded in 1900 .

by the late 1840s the term had been transferred to the route followed by a person who journeys through the country , especially in search of seasonal work . it often occurs in the phrase on the wallaby track and in in the abbreviated form on the wallaby :

to get a raw deal , or to receive unfair or inequitable treatment . the force of the phrase derives partly from the fact that either end of a pineapple is ‘rough’ , although the end with the prickly leaves is very rough indeed . this expression is recorded first in 1959 , and the early evidence is for the form to get the wrong end of the pineapple . from the 1970s onwards the ‘rough end’ takes over from the ‘wrong end’ as the more common form of the expression . the equivalent american saying is ‘to get the fuzzy end of the lollypop’ .

lyell continued to work on films although from 1920 illness interrupted her career . she played a smaller role in longford ' s on our selection . in 1921 she co - produced and performed in the sequel to the sentimental bloke - ginger mick - then concentrated solely on producing & directing the blue mountains mystery before performing in rudd ' s new selection . in 1923 longford and lyell formed a new production company - longford lyell productions - and they worked on a further 6 films together , two of which were released after her death , at 35 , from tuberculosis on 21 december 1925 . she is buried in the northern suburbs cemetery in ryde , nsw alongside raymond longford .

unkempt when he goes into jail , bill is still unkempt when he is released ; when he hawks vegetables in the street ; and when he first sees doreen . ( it is telling that , as bill eyes doreen at the market , his headgear looks particularly dirty , and a woman in the background energetically brushes a second - hand hat . ) by the time of their “proper” introduction , however , the bloke has smartened up . although his hat is still quite formless , he wears a tie . a striped waistcoat , with a firm lower edge , replaces the cardigan with its over - stretched hem . bill further polishes his appearance for his first date with doreen . he again wears his striped vest , and has added a cravat .

this paper uses the costumes of bill , the sentimental bloke ( arthur tauchert ) to reveal tensions between “authenticity” and artifice . hats provide a particular focus , because as well as helping to draw bill’s character , they contribute to the narrative . for instance , at moments when bill struggles for words , he communicates by using his hat . he signals frustration or confusion by shoving his fedora to the back of his head , and when he is “properly” introduced to doreen – after she has twice snubbed his approaches – his hat helps him overcome his awkwardness . “i dips me lid , ” he tells us . “i sez , ‘good day . ’ an’ bli - me , i ‘ad nothin’ more ter say ! ”
