Bachelor Girl is a 1988 Australian TV movie. [3]
Dorothy Bloom is a 32-year-old single soap opera writer planning a long, quiet weekend in Melbourne. Her Aunt Esther wants her to meet a gynecologist but instead she runs into Karl Stanton, an old friend from uni days.
It was financed with the assistance of Film Victoria and the Australian Film Commission. [4]
The TV critic from The Age called the film "wonderfully whimsical. A sort of Aussie Heartburn , it combines liberal helpings of Jewish philosophy and humour, off-beat animation, accelerated footage and delicious satire." [5]
