Dear Cardholder is a 1987 Australian film about a man who gets into debt on his credit cards. [2] The film failed to find a cinema release, and its director, Bill Bennett, thinks that he made a mistake in not making the film funny enough or its protagonist sufficiently sympathetic. [1] He also says that he probably did not spend enough time on its script. [3]
