- In the 1930s he works as a doctor in a small country town and becomes involved in a fight against the New Guard.

Production
Director Michael Thornhill was good friends with writer Frank Moorhouse and they had worked together on several short films. Moorehouse wrote the script in 1970, originally for television[2] and it was revived a few years later. Half the budget came from the Australian Film Development Corporation and the other half from a property developer.[3][4]
Filming took place over six weeks in February and March 1974 with interiors at the former studios of Cinesound Productions at Bondi and locations in Gulgong and Melbourne.[3] It was the first feature from cinematographer Russell Boyd.[5]
Release
Thornhill decided to distribute the film himself at first. Initial reviews were good but the box office performance was not strong and distribution was taken over by the Vincent Library.[3] The movie did not return its cost;[2] a bigger "flop" than The Cars that Ate Paris.[1]
Reception
The Canberra Times critic considered this an important Australian film, as distinct from the "pot-boilers" of the time — the "Australian New Wave" — Petersen, Stork, Stone and even Wake in Fright.[6]
Home Media
Between Wars was released on DVD by Umbrella Entertainment in January 2011. The DVD is compatible with all region codes.[7] By 2023 it was no longer in their catalogue.
Awards
In 1976, the Australian Cinematographers Society awarded the film's cinematographer Russell Boyd with Cinematographer of the Year award for the film.
