This theme from Peter Best’s score for Crocodile Dundee (Peter Faiman, 1985) fuses lush, spacious consonances, drawn-out reverberant flute gestures and bedding strings.
The wistful and yet danceable song ‘Live it Up’ by Australian band Mental As Anything provides the soundtrack for a very 80s party scene in New York in Crocodile Dundee.
'Mick catches barramundi – Sue invites him to New York. Mick kisses Sue. Interruption by Wally's call', was the action filmed in this scene according to a Location Schedule held in the NFSA.
At the Plaza Hotel in New York, Mick (Paul Hogan) is amused and confused by the luxuries of a modern hotel room. Nor does he understand tipping – but he soon works it out.
