AustLit

A short animated film based on a nursery rhyme. Little information is available on this film, which is one of Marek's more obscure productions.

The particular nursery rhyme on which the film is based is also obscure, though generally linked to a nursery rhyme of uncertain origin that begins 'There was an old woman, as I've heard tell', in which a woman, falling asleep on the highway after taking her eggs to market, has her petticoats cut off up to her knees by a passing peddlar, and suffers a crisis of identity.
