The play was adapted by American actor-playwright John Glennon who also played one of the lead roles. According to ''Filmink'' "Glennon is one of a number of people who came down under in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s to help “instruct” Australians how to make television drama... This was very much in the long tradition of Australian cultural institutions being impressed by a foreign accent, particularly one from England or America." Sydney model Feil Wittman made her acting debut as Simone. Glennon made several changes to the play including cutting the time down from two hours to an hour, shifting the action from 1929 to present day New York, and moving the local from one room to a four-room penthouse. "Whereas the original dealt with distance," said Glennon, "you can now eliminate long speeches and convey the same idea by gesture or by a bit of business magnified a hundred fold by that eagle eyed camera."Reception
The ''Sydney Morning Herald'' critic praised "John Glennon' s clever, perceptive and highly mannered performance... and the tensions which producer Rod Kinnear was able to generate by some thoughtful camera work, and some very skilful organisation on a large and attractive set." ''The Age'' TV credit praised the set, credit sequence and some of the acting but had reservations about some of the performances and the direction.References
