Film synopsis

Capturing the dynamic colour and movement of 1920s Sydney, a vibrant city of optimism bulging with a dark underbelly of crime, KITTY AND THE BAGMAN cuts to the criminal chase in the great Aussie gangster tradition of SQUIZZY TAYLOR.

When tough guy O’Rourke (David Bradshaw – THE LAST OUTLAW) is arrested for cutting up a lady-friend, his wife Kitty (Liddy Clark – ANNIE’S COMING OUT) sets out on a fateful journey, taking ownership of the Top Hat nightclub, a raucous doorway to the criminal underworld.

Aided along the way by her prostitute friend, Doris (Colette Mann – PRISONER) and an enigmatic crooked cop called The Bagman (John Stanton – BENEATH HILL 60), Kitty establishes a formidable reputation not only as a woman on the make, but as a no-nonsense gangster ready to rival the notorious Big Lil Delaney (Val Lehman – PRISONER) for a piece of the action and control of the unsettled streets.

With camera work from Oscar® winner Dean Semler, KITTY AND THE BAGMAN is a switchblade-sharp yarn from the award winning creators of CADDIE and THE IRISHMAN.
