Bert Tenzer, a writer and a veteran of radio and television production and direction, could not, in fact, "write" the feature film he wanted to make in terms that, say, a studio story editor could grasp.

This film was transmitted around early 1987 on Channel 7 in Australia and I was fortunate enough to have found this gem on the end of a program I had taped. It is unavailable on VHS or DVD and that is a crime!
