AbstractHistoryArchive Description

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

'DAVID ANDERSON Late teens. Quiet, sensitive and intelligent. After the murder he suspects that Moore's taunts and jibes may have been accurate. Drives a car.

'MIKE MOORE Early 20's. The victim. Has a number of unpleasant ways, but can charm the birds. Likes having David Anderson around as a foil.

'JACK LEWIS Aboriginal. Mid 20's. Has discovered that racial intolerance is not confined to one area. After years of turning the other cheek, he tends to over-react eventually. Drives a car.

'JIMMY TAYLOR Around thirty. Ex-con. He knows of his wife's affair whilst he was inside - but feels it's more expedient to keep it to himself. Drives a car. He's tough and resourceful.

'TONY HUNT Perhaps 30 - 50. Smallish build. His main concern is his bar.

'THELMA TAYLOR Early 20's. Attractive. Loves her husband, despite her affair. Just wants a normal life with him.

'MRS. ANDERSON David's mother. About 50. She almost swamps her son at times and is very indulgent. She would be the last person to suspect David's interest in Mike.

'HAIRDRESSER Any age over 35. Melbourne's Oldest Teenager. Wears mod gear.

'SENIOR DAVIES 50's. Feels out of place in his shorts when meeting Russell Street "brass".
