Mic Conway loved comic Vaudeville, and Jim Conway was a serious and masterful blues harmonica player. The two brothers infuriated each other on Australian stages throughout the 1970s, before finally splitting up to work on their own projects.
Fiona Cochrane captures the zany exuberance, sibling rivalry and genuine love generated by the brotherly collaboration in this captivating bio-documentary.
‘There’s pathos, romance and a homicidal girlfriend in the mix, guaranteeing your undivided attention.’ – FilmInk
