Nickel Queen (1971)

An interesting film shot in around Perth, Australia in 1970

[8/10 · 27 April 2009]

I worked on this film as a Unit Runner (the very bottom of the ladder!) and drove the cast and crew to the various locations around Perth. I need to confess here and now that I never had a driver's license because I was only 16! I remember waking Googie Withers very early one morning in her hotel room for a make-up call and she tore strips of me for waking her! I was only doing my job. John McCallum (the director) was her husband and he was lying in bed beside her and smiled at me as if to say "she's always this cranky in the mornings!" It was a fantastic experience working on the film and I have very fond memories of filming in and around Perth in 1970.
