Smörgåsbord Disc 30

Colin, who's locked in the jaws of winter in southern New Zealand, provided this collection of 6 films, 5 of which are adaptations of books by the late New Zealand author Ronald Hugh Morrieson.

Some of these films are quite rare, as are some of his books, so to provide those of us outside of New Zealand with the chance to have all 5 films on 1 disc was very generous of Colin.

One Of Those Blighters is a 50-minute film about the life and times of Morrieson himself, filmed about 10 years after his death at the age of 50.

Pallet On The Floor
Predicament

The Makutu Of Mrs. Jones is not a Morrieson story. It's a short film from 1983 based on a story by Witi Ihimaera.
