Synopsis:

An eye-opening Aussie sex romp from the 70s starring Jack Thompson and Sam Neill, The Journalist is a wildly humorous study of infidelity and the pressures of professional life in the media. Handsome ladies' man Simon Morris (Jack Thompson) is a top reporter and feature writer for a major daily newspaper. Recently separated from his wife, Simon is the sort of bloke who finds it hard to say no, particularly when it comes to his relationship with women. Fiancee Liz Corbett (Elizabeth Alexander) might he madly in love with him, but Simon has other conquests on his mind. When he is saddled with a new job and a pushy new boss Sid Mitchell (Charles 'Bud' Tingwell) Simon's world is not only turned upside down, but his life has literally gone to the dogs. With jealous buddy Rex (Sam Neill) by his side, Simon will need all the help he can get to write himself out of trouble. Directed by Michael Thornhill and featuring a stellar line up of Aussie talent including Slim DeGrey, Frankie J. Holden, Penne Hackforth-Jones and Frank Wilson, The Journalist is a colourful 70s 'sexcapade' in the tradition of Australian classic Alvin Purple.

Comedy about a womanizing journalist on a Sydney newspaper who confronts job problems and impotence in the context of Australian media and politics of the 1970's. A somewhat lesser Australian film comparable to the American film Shampoo.
