The period of principal photography on this picture was a production shoot in 1987 that ran for about six weeks between the months of about mid October and around late November.
The movie was produced with the assistance of the Australian Film Commission (AFC).
The picture was funded under the famed and notorious 10BA Australian film funding and financing scheme.
Actress Joy Bell, who played Claudine, received an 'introducing' credit during the opening credits roll. The picture remains her first, final and only ever cinema movie acting role.
The picture in 1988 was nominated for 4 AFI (Australian Film Institute) Awards including Best Film, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Bruno Lawrence but the movie failed to take home a gong in any of these categories.
