Their younger sister Julie is forbidden to go, partly because of her youth and partly because she already has a child, but she bribes a neighbour to take her to the contest. An alcoholic Irish talent scout, Dave Lovelace, is scolded by his boss for being late despite him sleeping in his car that is near work. Despite being the best act in the contest, the girls not only do not win, but are told to leave. Dave recognizes their talent and is told that the troops need singers for Vietnam. After presenting these facts to the skeptical singers, Dave makes a call and tells them they have been granted a spot to audition in Melbourne. </p><p>Back at their home, their mother is reluctant, but the girls argue that this might be their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Dave tells their father that he will protect them with his life. Advised by their grandmother, they meet up with their cousin Kay, who had been living in Melbourne for 10 years after the government took her from her family because she was half-white (as part of the policy now referred to as <a href="/wiki/Stolen_Generations" title="Stolen Generations">Stolen Generations</a>). She initially rejects the offer to join them, but soon changes her mind and meets them at their uncle's place. After days of practicing their moves, they are about to audition when Julie gives Cynthia a letter from her fiancé: he's calling off their engagement. Despite that, the audition is a success and Kay comes up with the group's name, The Sapphires, by looking at Cynthia's engagement ring. </p><p>The Sapphires are a success with the crowds, but infighting among the women threatens to tear the group apart: Gail acts as the group's overbearing matriarch; Cynthia begins a relationship with a member of their military escort in the aftermath of her break-up; Kay struggles with her multi-ethnic identity while being courted by an Army medic; and Julie has difficulty processing the reality of war. Dave and Gail begin to show feelings for each other, but his reckless behavior and a personal secret push Gail's patience to the limit. </p><p>The group travels without military escort to a venue where a renowned U.S. talent scout will be in attendance, primarily to see Julie, the group's one great voice. Angry about these events, Cynthia vamps during the first show, drinking with some of the men, and is told by Gail she will not be allowed to go on again. Before the next show begins, Dave hands Gail her a letter and tells her to open it later; they are about to kiss when the base is attacked. After getting Gail and Cynthia to a helicopter, Dave goes back to find the others, and Gail sees him get shot. Kay and Julie are able to leave on Kay's boyfriend's med-evac, where a dying white soldier makes a racist comment to Kay's boyfriend as he tries to attend to the white soldier's mortal wounds. </p><p>Safely in Saigon, Gail reads Dave's letter and realizes that he wanted to propose to her. The women are asked to perform that evening following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., with Gail singing lead in the aftermath of her loss. Kay's boyfriend arrives to take Gail to a local hospital where Dave is recovering. The Sapphires return to Australia and Gail and Dave announce to her family that they plan to marry. The Sapphires give a joyous performance for their friends and family in the yard of their home. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Sapphires_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Chris_O%27Dowd" title="Chris O'Dowd">Chris O'Dowd</a> as Dave</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Deborah_Mailman" title="Deborah Mailman">Deborah Mailman</a> as Gail</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jessica_Mauboy" title="Jessica Mauboy">Jessica Mauboy</a> as Julie</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Shari_Sebbens" title="Shari Sebbens">Shari Sebbens</a> as Kay</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Miranda_Tapsell" title="Miranda Tapsell">Miranda Tapsell</a> as Cynthia</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tory_Kittles" title="Tory Kittles">Tory Kittles</a> as Robby</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Eka_Darville" title="Eka Darville">Eka Darville</a> as Hendo</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kylie_Belling" title="Kylie Belling">Kylie Belling</a> as Geraldine</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Judith_Lucy" title="Judith Lucy">Judith Lucy</a> as Merle</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Georgina_Haig" title="Georgina Haig">Georgina Haig</a> as Glynis</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Rhys_Muldoon" title="Rhys Muldoon">Rhys Muldoon</a> as Uncle Ed</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Meyne_Wyatt" title="Meyne Wyatt">Meyne Wyatt</a> as Jimmy Middleton</li> <li>Don Battee as Myron Ritchie</li></ul></div> <p>Tanika Lonesborough, <a href="/wiki/Miah_Madden" title="Miah Madden">Miah Madden</a>, Nioka Brennan and Ava Jean Miller-Porter also play Gail, Julie, Kay and Cynthia as children; and Carlin Briggs plays the childhood Jimmy. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historical_basis">Historical basis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Sapphires_(film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Historical basis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">"The Sapphires (Australian band)" redirects here.
