Painting the Town is a 1987 Australian documentary film, created by Trevor Graham, looking at Jewish artist Yosl Bergner's time in Australia.
Jim Schembri of the Age states "as far as films about artists and their work go this film has a rare quality; it is entertaining." Diana Simmonds wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald that the filmmakers "put together a film that's as racy as a fiction drama, as droll (courtesy of their witty and articulate subject) as a comedy play, and as informative and visionary as many programs twice the length."
