Teacher. Whore. Assassin. Each is a role. Each is played to perfection.

Production

Bob Ellis said the idea for the film came to Denny Lawrence as he and Ellis were travelling on a train and they wrote the script together. Ellis said "the idea was that each client would be some part of the Australian male".

Ellis called the film "a mix of Pinter and Hitchcock. An erotic thriler - well, not too erotic, but somewhat thrilling."

Ellis said funding of the film was dependent on casting Wendy Hughes, who he always thought was miscast, although he says her performance was excellent and she was a joy to work with.
