518    Originally produced by Ronin Films in 1983. 
520    Allies is a landmark documentary from 1983, made at the 
       time of Bob Hawke’s unequivocal embrace of the American 
       alliance. The film explores Australia-US relations during 
       the Cold War: the setting up of ASIO to appease American 
       agencies worried about Communist influence; the Petrov 
       Affair and disunity in the Labor Party; and the 
       determination of Sir Robert Menzies to follow the US into 
       Vietnam. It’s the story also of the “covert wars” in 
       South-East Asia, especially Indonesia, and Australia’s 
       role in support of US policy and intervention.  Allies 
       looks at the time when Australia went “all the way with 
       LBJ”, and the days when secret US bases were established. 
       It then looks at the heady days of the Whitlam election 
       and the promise to restore ”integrity” and “dignity” to 
       Australia’s foreign policy, and explores how Nixon, 
       Kissinger and the CIA really reacted to Whitlam’s 
       government. Interviews with former CIA officials Frank 
       Snepp, Victor Marchetti and Dr Ray Cline show how deeply 
       disturbed the US intelligence agencies were by the new 
       Labor government.  Convicted spy Christopher Boyce, former
       CIA director William Colby, Prime Minister John Gorton, 
       Clyde Cameron, David Combe, Alan Renouf and US ambassadors
       to Australia, Marshall Green and Ed Clark, also have much 
       to say.  The film stands today as a document of rare 
       authenticity. Made without a narrator, and with discreet 
       use of archival images, the film is told entirely by 
       people who participated at first-hand in the events and by
       contemporary academic observers (among them Des Ball). All
       credit to Wilkinson this early in her distinguished career
       as a journalist and political commentator for not only 
       securing such an extraordinary range of interviewees, and 
       not only coaxing them into such frank and revealing 
       reflections, but also for pulling all of these elements 
       together into such a coherent and forceful whole.  
       “President Lyndon B. Johnson always thought that 
       Australia was the next large rectangular state beyond El 
       Paso, and treated it accordingly” – Marshall Green, US 
       Ambassador to Australia, 1973-75.
