I have not seen this movie, but I read somewhere that, much to everyone's surprise, Christina Amphlett (lead singer for the Divinyls who also recorded the soundtrack to the film) received a Best Supporting Actress nomination (Aussie Oscars?) for her performance in this film. It's unfortunate that she never acted in another film after that, and that this was her first and last showing. I would have been curious to see what she might have done with an acting career. Particularly since the Divinyls never really got their due respect. :( Anyway, this is definitely on my list to see (if I can find it!) PS - I first saw her perform musically at the US festival in 1983, their debut tour. Amazing!
