  • Adapté de : Number 96

Number 96: The Movie is an Australian drama feature film, released in 1974 and based on the television soap opera of the same title that was then running on the 0-10 network. The film features nearly all the show's regular cast, and was created by the show's creative team, Cash Harmon Television produced by Bill Harmon with David Hannay with the screenplay by David Sale and Johnny Whyte and directed by Peter Bernardos and Brian Phillis.

Production and release

The film was shot in December 1973 over 11 days in colour on 16mm film and then blown up to 35mm.

The film was released with a star studded red carpet premiere and brass band in Sydney at the Regent Theatre in May 1974 during the school holidays and ran for around 9–10 weeks, becoming a major box office success. It screened in Melbourne during the August school holidays and was still on the drive-in circuit during January 1975. In Brisbane, Channel 0 telecast the stars' arrival live during that night's regular Friday night episode.

A gay kiss between series regular Don Finlayson (played by Joe Hasham) and Simon Carr (played by John Orcsik) was mysteriously cut from the movie after its Sydney season.
