AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The script held in the Crawford Collection in the AFI Research Collection contains the following character notes (excluding regular characters):

'ALEX WATSFORD: Late 30's. A small man, short-sighted, fairly ineffectual but useless without his glasses. His life has become a safe, regular pattern. He longs to break out, to find adventure. Required for night filming. Must be able to drive.

'CHRIS GREEN: Early 20's. Long-haired, nicely shaped. Not a hippie but easily acceptable as one. Aware of her own sexuality and uses it as a way of life. Required for night filming.

'RICK BRISTOW: Mid-twenties. Tall, well-built, physical. Works any kind of racket for a fast buck. No compassion. Main concern is always himself and what's in it for him. Required for night filming. Must be able to drive and ride a motor-bike.

'SERGEANT DAN FARRADY: Experienced Sergeant in the Vice Squad.

'HARVEY: 40's. Well-dressed victim of a racket using a girl as bait, somewhat nervous about bringing the police in and the possible consequences.

'NEIGHBOUR: Male, married. Any age.

'MRS. WALKER: Early thirties. Pleasant. Reports her husband missing.

'HOWARD WALKER: 36. Corpse.

'MANAGER: Runs a none-too-reputable car yard. Supplies cars for prostitutes on the side. Should be able to turn on death-adder charm and also be demolished effectively.
