Reception
The critic from the Sydney Moring Herald called it "one of the best of the year's output, being a sceptical look at the old mateship tradition and contrasting pathos with crudity and crassness. The storv of a lonely ill fated lad was played out among a crude little plot of unfeeling men. A moving show."[3]
The critic added that Australian Playhouse "has disappointed everyone who hoped for a long line of quality TV plays. It has rudely shown us that we can supply studios, crews and players, but we have a depressing shortage of writers. Also, the Playhouse badly needs a more skilled and creative editor-in-chief for 1967. All that said, Playhouse consistently drew audiences by the tens of thousands which means it had more impact on potential drama lovers than any stage theatre in the land."[3]
