Tim is an Australian romantic drama film. Released in 1979, it was written and directed by Michael Pate, based on the 1974 novel by Colleen McCullough.
It is the story of the developing relationship between an older woman named Mary (played by Piper Laurie) and a younger man named Tim (played by Mel Gibson) who has a developmental disability.
The film was one of Mel Gibson's first roles, and was moderately successful in Australia, earning Gibson an Australian Film Institute award for Best Actor. Alwyn Kurts and Pat Evison, who played Tim's parents, also won Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards respectively.
The film was remade for American television as Mary and Tim in 1996, starring Candice Bergen and Thomas McCarthy in the lead roles.
