Production

Star Barry Creyton later recalled he "didn’t enjoy that... due to ego more than the script, though (laughs). My co-stars where these singing twins, two girls who were popular at the time (Katherine and Karen Kessey). At that time in the ‘60s, I was well enough known to have top billing and they didn’t give it to me, they gave it to the twins, and I was pretty pissed." ^[5]

Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald said it was "a disaster."^[6]
