Production
Nowra wrote the film for Jan Chapman following their successful collaboration on 'Displaced Persons'. He says the subject matter was close to Chapman's heart, and the producer thought it would be a romantic story. However the more research Nowra did, the less romantic he felt the story was and he had a deal of trouble writing it as a love story. He felt swamped with the research and did not like the real life men on whom the story was based. Nowra was not satisfied with the final script, although he said the director did the best he could. Nowra also plays a support role.[http://www.aftrs.edu.au/media/books/lumina/lumina3-ch2-1/index.html Interview with Louis Nowra at 'Lumina'] accessed 11 March 2014
