Wild Man
Film (Full Length) – 1977
Wild Man is the missing link between 1970s musical legends Blerta, and the burgeoning of Blerta trumpeter Geoff Murphy as a director whose talents knew few bounds. The Blerta ensemble relocated to the mud-soaked West Coast to create this tale of pioneer con men and silent movie style pratfalls. Bruno Lawrence and Ian Watkin arrange a fight — and betting — in each town they arrive in, while Bruno channels his inner wild man from under a leopard skin. Wild Man was released in cinemas alongside John Clarke and Geoff Murphy’s Fred Dagg comedy Dagg Day Afternoon.
Would you get out of the way then if you’re not going to buy anything? You might be interested in a little device here I have [he reveals a whip]. This is a remedy for people who won’t get out of the bloody way.– Dodgy travelling salesman Dr Daggenheimer (John Clarke)
