From left to right:
If in France, I'd say this "square box" 193Os car would be some Citroën 8/10 "Rosalie"... but probably not in Australia? rather some British similar car of the era , then indistinct black car in the far background, then another Ford Customline or somewhat, then a Standard Ten, a Morris/Austin LD (thb No.1 and No.2) and an Austin A30/35 (thb No.3) behind the Morris Minor already mentionned in the page.

Parked on the left, unknown british car of the 50s.

On the road in the background, unknown dark colours cars, the one in the left might be a Vanguard I?

Music and Youth...
Youth depraved and delivered to itself by unconscious and lax parents... prone to car theft.
Alcohol, Cigarettes, Jazz and Rock'n roll breeding ground for bad behavior... such is roughly the very conservative tone of this short propaganda film.
The actors seem more like gentle lambs of the tidy petty bourgeoisie than terrible thugs. :lol:
