The director did a good job of creating the atmosphere. Houses are characters as well as humans. The main actress does a good job. She was older in real life, but she conveys a much younger sensibility. This is a movie for people who appreciate moviemaking.

Close & True

A bit of a gem.

A bit of a gem. Robson Green can be annoying, but in this he pleasantly underplays it, showing a gentler side to his character. The supporting cast rocks (as often happens with Brit dramas) and they get quality dialogue. This could have gotten another season. I wonder why it didn't? The editor deserves a mention as does the writer and the director. It's 22 years old and the pacing is up to modern standards.

I saw this at The Atheneum Theatre in Melbourne, probably in 1970 or there abouts. I took my wife to be and it was an exciting experience as this was the beginning of the re-birth of the Australian film industry. The director was present and he answered questions. As the years went by I kept expecting to see him take his place with the greats from Australian cinema, but it did not happen. He was an excellent cinematographer and I guess that is where he made his living. The National Film and sound archive has a copy but they want a small fortune to produce a print. Which is a shame, because I'd love to see it again.
