Sweet Talker (film)

Sweet Talker is a 1991 comedy film starring Bryan Brown and Karen Allen.^[2] It was directed by Michael Jenkins who later described it as:

A real general audience film, a fairly gentle film about some relationships, almost father-son relationships, single mum relationship with her son. It's not what I would call a film that has major clout to it. It's an entertainment film, but what it says is not bad. It's a soft film - it doesn't really go out there pretending it's saying anything world-shattering... In this industry quite a few things are haphazard. Sweet Talker is one of the more haphazard projects that has come along.^[3]
