This, his very first feature, has the two main axes of this 1970s movie revival - nostalgia (Picnic At suspending Rock et. al. ) and intercourse (Alvin Purple et. al.) but failed to capitalize in the appeal of either probably because of the director’s un-Australian penchant for Hollywood cinema (in addition to the fact that it wasn’t extremely great, but then neither was Alvin Purple). A sort of reduced rent Cat Ballou (it was created on budget of $AU240,000) based on the popular bawdy “pome” alluded to within the name, it was scripted by Franklin along with Alan Hopgood whom skilled in the aforementioned sexual axis, giving us not just the Alvin Purple films but additionally Pacific Banana.
