1 form y separately published work icon The Life of Harry Dare Gerald Thompson , ( dir. Aleksi Vellis ) Australia : Infinity Pictures , 1995 8356172 1995 single work film/TV detective humour

'Harry Dare (John Moore) is a shambolic Adelaide private investigator. He’s still not certain why he’s in the business; perhaps to understand his father’s disappearance, 20 years earlier? But now Harry’s got a real case: who stole his father’s old Kombi van, nicked (oddly) just after Harry finished restoring it?

'Director Vellis’s detective yarn both delights in the idea of a Kaurna Aboriginal man making ends meet as a private eye and in how Harry’s crime-solving smarts seem to grow directly from his resilience as an Indigenous Australian.'
