Don't Let It Get You
Do n't Let It Get You is a film made in New Zealand and Sydney, Australia in 1966.
It is notable for the period it was made in as well as the popular musical acts that featured in it.
Sir Howard Morrison, Eddie Low, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Herma and Eliza Keil of the Keil Isles featured in the film.
It also had an appearance by Australian hit maker Normie Rowe.
Directed by John O'Shea and written by Joseph Musaphia, the film captures the exuberance and energy of one of New Zealand's finest hours in pop/ rock musical history.
Fashioned in the style of Richard Lester's" A Hard Day's Night"( 1964) and" Help!"( 1965), it is a showcase for the talents of the period, including Kiri te Kanawa(" Sing for us now, Kiri").
The songs are mostly written by Patrick Flynn in collaboration with either O'Shea or Musaphia.
However, the film is also a knockabout romantic comedy: the dialogue non-sequiturs, pratfall gags and bizarre juxtapositions display an offbeat sense of irony and blase manner not unlike that of television in the late Eighties( Terry and the Gunrunners and The Billy T. James Show, for example).
As a nostalgia piece, the film comes as close to capturing the hopes and aspirations of the period as the Weekly Reviews do for the Forties and the Tangata Whenua series does for the Seventies.
