 * Jennifer Cluff as Harry
 * Steve Jacobs as Bob
 * Helen Mutkins as Cindy

Production
The script was inspired by the breakup of Bennett's first marriage. Half the budget was raised by a pre-sale to J.C. Williamson and the movie was shot on Fraser Island in February 1987, near Orchid Beach Resort.

Release
The film was not released theatrically, despite Tina Burstill winning an AFI Award for Best Supporting Actress. It was released on video in 1989.

Bill Bennett later said he feels the film was not as effective as it could have been, and together with the lack of success of Dear Cardholder led to him taking a break from making features for a number of years.
