Production
The film was based on a musical play by Kenneth Cook which had been commissioned by the New South Wales Drama foundation and first performed in March 1971 at the Independent Theatre in Sydney.[3] Most of the original cast returned and the play's director Ross McGregor was director of acting.
Shooting took place in May 1971 immediately after the end of the play's Sydney season. The shoot only took two weeks in at the Australiana Pioneer Village, Wilberforce, near Sydney.[4] $15,000 of the budget came from the Australian Council for the Arts and $16,000 from the Australian Film Development Corporation.[1]
