I would dearly love to see this little gem again. I saw it once on ABC television many years ago as part of a series of short films about dogs (I think). The series contained another great short dog film called Prince (1991) starring Sean Bean which I found on Youtube. Alas no trace of Bonza (1989).
I remember fondly the Jesus Christ Superstar scene but little else. It is one of those films one wants to share with other people, particularly those who love dogs. If short films can leave such lasting impressions then surely they are worth more consideration.
It is lamentable that this seems lost when so much utter rubbish (film) is easy to obtain. So come on David Swann, ABC, or whoever owns the rights to this or has influence. Recognize that not all art worth preserving is painted or sculpted.
A strong 9/10.
