Hi Pierre,
A bit of trivia for you....the movie was filmed in my house!! We had just bought the house and were moving up from Melbourne when Dad got a call from the producers and real estate agent to say can we please use it for 6 weeks before you move in...we'll pay you too! Not sure how much we got paid but we got put up in the salubrious location of the La Mancha Caravan Park in Berowra and endured 4 weeks out of 6 in torrential rain. Just where you want to be when it's pissing down rain!!
We went and saw the movie being filmed quite a lot. Dad is even in the opening when Don is going off to vote posing as a gardener.
When it was all done all the residents from the street (it was a culdesac) got a private screening of the film to say thanks. I was only 8 at the time so just thought all the nudity to be gross. Nowadays is a slightly different story, Candy Raymond was such a babe.
Did you know Barry Mackenzie was meant to play Don but he hurt his back just before filming was due to start so John Hargreaves stepped in.
Mum and Dad sold the house around 10 years ago. We had made some fairly big renovations to it since we moved in but I still remember it clear as day whenever I see the movie again. In my older years I used to snigger at the sex that took place in my room through the course of the movie. I own a copy on DVD now and when my kids are a bit older I'll show it to them
Brother-in-law made a lot of the props for the sets,(carpenter) so sick_em, he faffed about a bit with the inside of your house.
