A film in the manner of Charley Chaplin. It means, the audience will split their sides with laughter just at the moment, when the character is ready to hang himself of despair.

But the plot and characters, as the scriptwriter, a practicing lawyer Chris Nyst asserts, were taken from a real life.

A prison cell united in friendship a striking couple Ц the stoic resolute Barry Wirth and the catastrophe on two legs - Johnny Spitieri. However a prison is in the past and friends swear to do everything in their power not to come back to it.

Alas, but someone, to be precise, some people have different plans for them: evil gangsters, corrupt cops, heartless court officers all of them like wolves thirst for their innocent blood.

So the guys have to sweat, to run, to use their brains, and, besides to make the audience laugh in order to keep the oath.

The movie was a great success in its native land. In the unanimous judgment of critics WenhamТs pitiful ridiculous but touching Spit is his true pearl. In this role as never before began to shine his comedian abilities and a unique gift of reincarnation.

Spit has brought to David a second award of AFI and a whole row of attendant prizes.
