Pallet On The Floor
''Pallet on the Floor'' is a 1986 New Zealand made comedy-drama film, based on the final novel by Ronald Hugh Morrieson. Shot in 1983 at Patea, partly in a closed-down abattoir, the film was given limited release in New Zealand three years later. The main role of abattoir worker Sam Jamieson is played by veteran actor Peter McCauley.

While billed as comedy, the film depicts 1960s racism and class divisions, and maintains Morrieson's ''trademark preoccupations .... of sex, death, mateship, voyeurism, violence ...
