Summary: "From acclaimed Directors Fred Schepisi (The Devil's Playground), Tim Burstall (Alvin Purple), John B. Murray (The Naked Bunyip) and David Baker (The Great MacArthy), comes this groundbreaking anthology film exploring 1970s sexual behaviour. Scripted by four of Australia's greatest authors (David Williamson, Thomas Keneally, Hal Porter and Craig McGregor), this quartet of carnal desires explores adultery and jealous fantasies, the end of childhood innocence, the moral and spiritual conflicts of a priest and nun in love. The stories define the exploitation of women and the cultural upheavel of the early '70s. Starring in these tales of lust & conflict are a who's-who of Aussie talent - including Jack Thompson, Max Gillies, Judy Morris, Robyn Nevin, Arthur Dignam and Elke Neidhardt." -DVD BACK COVER

Summary: In this lively and honest account, writer and broadcaster Nell Schofield recalls how she won the role of Debbie and what it was like on the set. She looks at the parallels between the film, the book and her own surfside teenage years, and at the extraordinary responses to the film, both on its release and since. It’s a story as idiosyncratically Australian as the film that showed everyone who ever had any doubt that chicks can surf.
