Cast
Production
The film was shot for a low budget on location in Sydney, with scenes at Ascot racecourse and the Royal Easter Agricultural Show. Contrary to the experiences of many local filmmakers, authorities were keen to give the producers permission to film in public places. A shoot out was filmed in Martin Place during Sydney's rush hour which caused a commotion, and leading to two extras being injured.
Marie Lorraine made her film debut in the cast.
