Tim (film)

Tim is a 1979 Australian romantic drama film. It was written and directed by Michael Pate, based on the 1974 novel by Colleen McCullough.

Plot

It is the story of the developing relationship between an older, middle-class American woman, Mary Horton (played by Piper Laurie) who lives on her own and a handsome, developmentally impaired 24-year-old gardener, Tim Melville (played by Mel Gibson), whom she hires. Tim lives with his sister, Dawnie (Deborah Kennedy), who is a year older than him, and their parents Ron (Alwyn Kurts) and Emily (Pat Evison). Dawnie marries her boyfriend, Mick Harrington (David Foster). Dawnie and Mick make clear they dislike Mary and oppose her relationship with Tim, but do not state their reason for feeling that way. Emily dies, Tim marries Mary and Ron dies.

Production

Michael Pate first read the book in 1975 and was immediately taken by it. He optioned the screen rights to the book, wrote the screenplay, and decided to direct.

Pate wanted the female lead played by an international actor and spoke with Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons and Glenda Jackson. Jackson was interested but was not available until 1982 so Piper Laurie was cast instead.

Hey! Could ya help, Jenny J.?
Gotta problem at home
And I don't really know what to do.
Oh! The kid's outta control
And the ring in the nose
And the terrible clothes gotta go.
And he won't listen to me
Is he just to blind to see?
See! That he's angry with me
And he doesn't feel love
As I give him the shove out the door.
And his problem is with me
Am I just to blind to see?
And it's what you need
Total Inside Makeover
Hey! Could ya help, Sally J.?
Would ya look at his hair
And the far-away stare in his eyes?
And I just don't understand
