Kitty and the Bagman

About This Movie

So, 'Kitty and the Bagman' is a curious piece from 1983, a gritty crime flick that tries to capture the spirit of the Roaring 20s in Sydney. Kitty O'Rourke, played with determination, steps into the underworld after her husband’s incarceration. The atmosphere is thick with desperation and a hint of glamour, but there’s a raw edge to it. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw some viewers off, but it adds to that chaotic vibe of the times. And then there's The Bagman, a crooked cop with a twisted sense of morality, who brings in some interesting dynamics. It’s not your typical gangster story, but that’s what makes it kind of fascinating.

Set in the Roaring 20s, captures a unique cultural moment.Strong lead performance by the actress playing Kitty.The dynamics with The Bagman create interesting tension.
