...sweet sentiment, which is echoed in the closing moments of the new Australian film Strange Bedfellows. On the stage at a country firemen's ball, sexagenarian mechanic Ralph Williams (Michael Caton) professes his love for local projectionist Vince Hopgood (Paul Hogan). Whether it's more than platonic he refuses to tell. Judge us as people first, he says. To the other townsfolk of Yackandandah, he and Vince have been sending out mixed messages. Hitherto heterosexual, a widower and divorc? respectively, they've shacked up together and been spied draping their lounge room in rainbow flags and befriending the local hairdresser...

The German consul-general and his lovely wife Anna described their other foreign posts. A quintillionth-generation Harvard sexagenarian discussed Canadian politics with startling insight. A former Harvard rugby player offered to hook up an undergraduate with his 'friend' in business...
Vidor felt obliged to present his solution to Minter, whom he remembered as a beautiful nymphet. He found a grossly obese sexagenarian living in a dusty % and heavily curtained mausoleum. In a scene out of Sunset Boulevard, or even Great Expectations, she answered his questions by reading poems, which all bore the byline of her hated mother. When Vidor asked her to confirm his theory, she snapped: "You don't know anything about it. Mr. Taylor was a great man." Then as Vidor pressed harder, she sobbed: "My mother killed everything I ever loved." Well, what good would...
