About Deep in the City
It tells of a happy Bushveld family whose lives are turned upside down by the mother’s death. The father, his young daughter, and their pet dog have to move to the city so he can try and patent a bean-machine. The urban world is foreign and foreboding with much danger. The father perseveres, and triumphs in a comical manner.
Directed by Jamie Uys, Deep in the City leans on a strong ensemble — Jamie Uys, Hettie Uys, Marietjie Uys — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1954.
