One of a series of films screened at ANU in 1966, as part of a showcase of Australian films.
Shown with films such as Ubu Films' James Bond spoof Blunderball, Nightwait was described by the Canberra Times as 'the best film both technically and dramatically in the programme', and as 'a brief and surprisingly moving story of the compassion felt for a directionless cripple.'
