''Molly'' is a 1983 Australian children's movie directed by Ned Lander.
Young Maxie Ireland (Claudia Karvan) has been sent by her father to live with her Aunt Jenny (Melissa Jaffer) in UsefulNotes/{{Sydney}}. At the train station, Old Dan (Reg Lye) has a heart attack. Unable to care for his dog Molly, he entrusts her to Maxie, planning to return for her when he recovers. Molly has a special talent: howling along to music like she's singing. Jones (Garry [=McDonald=]), a short-order cook and former clown, hears Molly singing and thinks he could get rich off her talent, and tries to kidnap her.
----
!!''Molly'' contains examples of:
* AsHimself: Molly is credited this way.
* ClosetPunishment: After Molly refuses to howl for him at an audition, Jones locks her in a closet in his apartment.
* NoAnimalsAllowed: Aunt Jenny initially sends Maxie to a Catholic boarding school, where she hides Molly in the mechanical room and smuggles meat to her. Shortly after she arrives, though, Jones kidnaps Molly, and then Sister Carmel (Kerry Dwyer), who thinks Maxie's behavioral problems are because of the changes in her life, sends her back to live with Aunt Jenny.
