The film was shot over four weeks in March 1979. $100,000 of the budget came from the Victorian Film Corporation.[1]
Release
Post-production on the film was rushed so Cox could ready it in time for the Melbourne Film Festival, which he later said was a mistake. However, it was the best-received of all Cox's features to that point.[1]
The film opened the Melbourne International Film Festival in 1979.[3] The Canberra Times wrote "Takis Emmanuel's moving portrayal of the hero s plight, Cox's sensitive photography and the sentimental happy ending should make the film a hit with expatriate Australians in Athens and the Greek community in Melbourne."[4]
The film was released to cinemas in Canberra in 1984.[5]
