豆知識

The Clean Machine is a 1988 Australian tele movie about police corruption starring Steve Bisley. It was one of four telemovies made by Kennedy Miller around this time, the others being The Riddle of the Stinson, The Damien Parer Story and The Year My Voice Broke.

Production

The film was written by Terry Hayes and Richard Mortlock, who were both former journalists. "Police corruption is an insidiuous and evil thing which disgusts us all," said Hayes. "I'd given up on politicians doing anything about it. This way I can at least channel my rage into a story."

The director was Ken Cameron who later recalled:

They asked me did I want to make it on 35mm. Now, I've always wondered whether I made a big mistake by not doing it on 35mm. But I don't think it would have been a success in the cinema. It wouldn't have had the density that it had on television. In terms of big screen, I could not have had the production values; the money wouldn't have stretched that far. So I don't know. There's a turning point. You never know what these turning points mean.

Cameron did say doing the film revived his career after the box office failure of The Umbrella Woman.
