Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox film A Local Boy is a 1964 Australian TV play produced in ABC's Gore Hill Studios in Sydney.[1] Australian TV drama was relatively rare at the time.[2]

The play featured reportedly the first near-nude scene on Australian television.[3]

Plot

In Wales a barrister, David Owen, attempts to become a member of Parliament. He comes up against the older member, Evan Lloyd.

Cast

  • John Meillon as David Owen[4]
  • June Thody as Prue Owen
  • John Grey as Albert, the barman
  • John Huson as Gerran Jones, a political agent
  • Tom Farley as Evan Lloyd
  • Ethel Lang as Mrs. Williams.

Production

It was Meillon's first television play since he returned from England after five years to appear in Rattle of a Simple Man.[5] He went on to appear in The Recruiting Officer for the ABC soon afterwards.[6] Thoday was an Adelaide actor who had returned to Australia after five years in England.[3]

The near-nude scene came when the character of Prue Owen tried to entice her husband back into bed. The camera focused on her bare back for a few seconds. "The scene is not designed for sensationalism," said director Henri Safran. "It wasn't put in there to shock the public. It is a very delicate scene and was handled tastefully. The play called for the scene and it was handled tastefully."[3]

"The scene was very well handled," said Thody. "There was nothing ansty about it."[3]

Reception

The Australian Woman's Weekly said they were "pleasantly surprised" by the quality.[7]

The Canberra Times said "it was such a surprise this week to see a locally produced play that was worthy of the talents of the cast that I can not remember when it last happened."[8]

The Sydney Morning Herald said it was made with "outstandingly high polish".[9]
