}}The Recruiting Officer is a 1965 Australian TV production based on the famous play The Recruiting Officer. It was the first episode of Wednesday Theatre and starred John Meillon, home after five years in London, and was directed by Ken Hannam.[2]

Premise

Two recruiting officers, Plume and Brazen, visit a country district and become involved with Plume's childhood friend, Worthy, and two beautiful women, Sylvia and Melinda

Cast

  • John Meillon as Plume
  • Reg Livermore as Brazen
  • Tony Ward as Squire Worthy
  • Edward Hepply as Sergeant
  • Anna Volska as Sylvia
  • Noeline Brown as Melinda

Production

It was one of the most elaborate productions shot on Australian TV until that time.

"I would think this play was the best ever produced in Australia", said Meillon. "It would stand on its merits anywhere."[3]

It was filmed in 1964 but screening was delayed until after a Senate election because of the title, and conscription had been an issue in the election.[4]
