Inspired by real people and based on true events, THE SENTIMENTAL BLONDE is an enduring love story between Lottie Lyell & Raymond Longford. Lottie is Australia's first movie star, writer, stunt woman, director, lover, rule breaker and trailblazer who was tested again and again; and yet, stayed true to herself. In it, we rediscover the magic of pioneer moviemaking with Lottie and Raymond's struggle producing The Sentimental Bloke while keeping their forbidden love affair and her life-threatening illness secret. Lottie faces her own challenges in the male-dominated movie business and questions her own complicated work-life relationship with Raymond (& his wife who refuses to grant him a divorce). The only thing Lottie couldn't conquer was time.
