McKenzie, instead of being embarrassing, was valorised as the folk image of the bloke. This article examines how in the four decades since, the bloke has been a constant in Australian cinema and the bloke-image has been confirmed and celebrated through such films as 'Crocodile Dundee' and 'Kenny'. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Folklore, v.25, p. 195-202 | Publisher: | Australian Folklore Association, Inc | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 0819-0852 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200212 Screen and Media Culture 190201 Cinema Studies |
