AbstractHistoryArchive Description

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

'TRACEY MILLS 40. A tough, but very intelligent ex-massage parlour lady who has battled her way up to where she owns her own salon. In all, a very sympathetic character.

'CNCR. BRADEN SMITH: 50. A very prominent and influential councillor of Yarra Central. Under the guise of a man bent on reform he is, in fact, the owner of several brothels and parlours.

'SIMON SMITH: 22. His arrogant, very scruffy son.

'SYDNEY MARTIN: 55. A very devious man, associated with Cncr. Smith. A practising solicitor, who is very unpopular with the Police of Yarra Central because of the many clashes he has had with them in the past.

'ANGEL WOOD: 25. A pretty masseuse employed by Tracey. (A nice kid)

'FREDDIE JACKSON: 35. Tracey's boy-friend and protector. Simple, a man who relies on force as a solution to everything. His weakness shows when he betrays her in favour of the big strength.

'MICK CONNORS: 30. A heavy employed by Smith. Also a council workman.

'"FRIENDLY" FLYNN: 30. A heavy employed by Smith. He is a foreman on the Council work staff.

'DUNCAN GREEN: A mechanic, a friend of Banners. [sic]

'SIR LESLEY: 50. Never referred to by full name.

'MONICA BROOME: 16. Schoolgirl, daughter of Traceys. [sic] Innocent, very likeable.

'PHOTOGRAPHER: A "smart" news photographer.

'CUSTOMER: A frightened little New Australian who frequents Tracey's Massage Parlour.'
