The House of Mancello is a 1962 Australian TV drama shot in Melbourne about a new Australian family.

It was one of a series of six Australian plays produced by the ABC in 1962.[1] The others were:

  • Boy Round the Corner
  • Funnel Web
  • The Teeth of the Wind
  • The Hobby Horse
  • Jenny

Plot

An Italian immigrant family, the Mancellos, have a dress manufacturing business which is in trouble. They import Joe, a dress designer relative from Italy to make changes which Mamma Mancello resents. Daughter Lucia is more receptive but not keen on Joe's ideas. She wants to sell the business to help her Australian boyfriend.[2]

Cast

  • Moira Carleton as Mama Mancello
  • Elizabeth Goodman as Lucia Mancello
  • Mark Kelly as Joe

Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald said that the play "was yet another classic demonstration of the ruinous effects of poor television techniques on even the best of plays" in particular, maintaining "a camera angle of roughly 50 to 60 degrees for the duration of the 45-minute production, and for all shots including groups and close-ups, a fault most box camera enthusiasts would be ashamed of. And lighting, such an important factor, was equally rudimentary." The critic did think "to a really dedicated viewer the play itself revealed many timely, interesting aspects of a migrant family's assimilation problems in Australia. But the dialogue is not brilliant, and such climaxes as there are attain little real force."[3]

Radio

The play was adapted for radio in 1963.[4]
