Reception
The film was not widely seen but was influential as many people associated with La Mama became key players in the Australian film revival of the 1970s.[3]

gollark: Each half acted basically independently, but then rationalized whatever the other half did.
gollark: This turned out to actually be quite a bad idea.
gollark: There *were* people who had their corpus callopsum cut as an epilepsy treatment.
