Stanley Dunstan is a young eccentric. The son and heir to a family fortune has eluded all attempts by his father to make him "normal", and escapes from attempts to incarcerate him in the family sanatorium. Stanley retreats to prove he can become "normal" on his own, and does so by tracking down Australia's most "normal" family with whom he moves in and on whom he models his behaviour. Stars Graham Kennedy, Nell Campbell, Peter Bensley and Michael Craig.

Stanley is a feel good movie that tackles the age old question of what is it like to be normal - though made in the early 80's it tackles teen pregnancy, homosexuality, infidelity, fetish and host of other topics as Stanley's character goes on search to find what it means to be normal. It has aged well and introduces many great Australian actors - there is no times when you cringe at the humour when the full context is revealed.
