Another Threshold is a 1942 Australian propaganda short film directed by Ken G. Hall and starring Peter Finch.
In an amiable discussion that lacks strength and conviction because of its generalities and cliches, an average Australian family and some of their friends from the fighting forces review the situation in Australia today.
In the general summing up, in a much too rambling and superficial argument, "squealers", "slackers", "lounge lizards", hoarders, blackmarket operator, and the rest of their kind are found to be very small fry when weighed in the balance against those who are earnestly doing their share in the struggle for victory... [a]rather too conscious effort.
"[8] Smith's Weekly called it "another excellent documentary for the Dept of Information" in which "refreshing candor marks the dialogue in which lack of effort by all classes of people comes in for censure.
"[9] The Daily Telegraph called it "ingeniously drawn, well-acted (Joe Valli is superb)... although a trifle over-dialogued, the film is the most vivid, most characteristic, of Australia's wartime shorts.
