I Live With Me Dad (1985): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1985, I Live With Me Dad is a notable film directed by Paul Moloney, running about 96 minutes.

What it’s about. Peter Hehir plays full-time loser Sid McCall, professional vagrant and alcoholic on the skids. Haydon Samuels is his young son Christopher who lives with him. At the insistence of those who seek to help, child welfare workers are called-in to retrieve the lad from what authorities classify as "inappropriate living conditions." Someone seems to have overlooked the fact that Christopher does not consider his plight as distressing however and with each visit to the home, all the social workers can get in the way of co-operation, is Christopher's stock-standard reply to their questions..."I live with me dad!"

Who’s in it. I Live With Me Dad stars Rebecca Gibney as Jill Harkness, Val Lehman as Marge, Esben Storm as Blindman and Peter Hehir as Sid McCall, among others.
