- No, it was called Spotswood for its Australian release. It may have been
- retitled for overseas release.
- Ive seen it, and I enjoyed it. I think it was by Nadia Tass and David Parker,
- the same team responsible for films like 'Malcolm' and 'Rikki and Pete'.
- I wouldn't rave about it, but I found it a nice, harmless film. Im not sure
- how it would be viewed outside Australia though.
