Rusty Bugles is a 1981 Australian television film based on the stage play of the same name.
Sumner Locke Elliot announced in the late 1970s he wanted the play to be filmed.[1]
The ABC filmed it in 1981. It was the second last in a series of play adaptations on the ABC. By this stage the play was established as a modern classic – it had been published by Currency Press in 1980 – and the Herald called it "a wry, rich and intensely Australian comedy peopled by Australian soldiers who chafe at the boredom of life in an out of the way camp while their mates are off fighting a real war."[2]
Alan Burke was again associated with the production as producer, although John Matthews was the director.
