ProductionSharman had worked successfully with White directing the latter's play The Season at Sarsaparilla. White suggested that his book The Night the Prowler might make a film; Sharman agreed and White wrote a screenplay.[4] The film was shot in November and December 1977.[5] ReleaseThe film was selected to open the 1978 Sydney Film Festival and was harshly received.[1] ReceptionPaul Byrnes of Australian Screen Online wrote the following in his review: The film is a savage satire on the neuroses of the privileged of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, where White lived, and the director Jim Sharman grew up. Much of the satire verges on invective, and the film was criticised for being ponderous, pretentious and condescending. Parts of it are like that—especially some of the dialogue—but the film also has some moments where everything works.[6] References1. ^1 Stratton, David.
