A Most Attractive Man is a 1982 Australian film directed by Rivka Hartman. [1] It is based on a autobiographical script given to Hartman by a friend. Hartman made multiple changes to the script resulting in the scriptwriter withdrawing support and choosing to be anonymous. It was made on a small budget with the crew working on deferred wages. [2]

Neil Jillett of the Age said "This film, made with precision, economy and verbal and visual wit, gives a sharp, if slightly romanticised, view of life below the poverty line." [3] The Australian Jewish News' Julian Lewis review finishes "Aside from its ‘look’, and good intentions, “A Most Attractive Man” is always effective." [4]

The film won 1982 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Short Fiction Film. [5]
