Curiosità

Niel Lynne is a 1985 Australian film about a young man during the 1960s.

Production

David Baker tried to get the film made for eight years. The script was inspired by 'Siren Voices', Henry Handel Richardson's 1896 translation of a story by Danish writer, J.P. Jacobs, Niels Lyhne. It was originally set in the 1930s but Baker updated it to the Vietnam War.

The film was funded by a pre-sale to Channel Seven and to the Australian Film Commission's Special Production Fund. It was shot over seven weeks in and around Melbourne.

The film finished under budget and the management company making the film were allowed to be reimbursed up to 10% of the $1.9 million budget if the production ran under – Niel Lynne ran under budget to almost exactly that amount and the money was paid out as bonuses.

David Baker cut eleven minutes from the film including a subplot involving Nicki Paull as Lynne's teenage bride who is killed in a car accident.
