2. Screen Australia credits Margaret Matheson as producer, without mention of Billy McKinnon (see The Last Crop, q.v.). While Matheson was employed by Zenith Film Australia as production manager between 1984 and 1989, no other evidence of her involvement in this film as producer has been found, including Matheson's own biography on the Bard Entertainment website. Several other sources, including Film.com and Time Out indicate that McKinnon was the producer, with Chris Oliver as executive producer.
