CROCODILE DUNDEE opens in the US. Directed by Peter Faiman, from a screenplay by Paul Hogan, Ken Shadie and John Cornell. Australian television comedy star Paul Hogan transfers his calculated brand of laid-back, mischievous humour to the big screen in the story of a sometime crododile hunter-cum-safari guide from the Australian Outback who is whisked off to New York by an American photojournalist (Linda Kozlowski) eager to exploit his folksy antipodean charm. Colorful, appealing rom-com becomes huge international BO hit.
