The film was made and released only about a year after its source stage play of the same name written by David Williamson had been first performed in 1987.
Both Australian actresses Robyn Nevin and Ruth Cracknell had portrayed their parts in the movie in the film's source stage production.
There were two people called "David Williamson" involved in the production. There was David Williamson the camera operator and David Williamson the screenwriter and source playwright. Both coincidentally had worked on the writer Williamson's The Removalists (1975) around thirteen years earlier where the other "David Williamson" had crewed as a focus puller.
Apparently, the picture has never been released on DVD or home video in the USA.
The character of the daughter Hannah was dropped from the film's source David Williamson stage play for this filmed adaptation.
