Production
A bathing scene was shot at Canadian Bay.[3] It also included scenes shot in North Balwyn.[4]
Patricia Kennedy had a five-minute monologue which was reportedly to be the longest speech up to that moment on Melbourne TV drama.[5]
Reception
The TV critic from The Sydney Morning Herald thought that "Patricia Kennedy's remarkable dramatic strength in the big leading role did much to minimise the gimmicky construction of thriller plot and some lack of incisive editing" and that "William Sterling's production was, in most places, worthy of the material."[1]
The critic from The Age said "there wasn't a great deal to enthuse about... Channel 2 can and will do more significant dramas."[6]
