Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Haig directed AND starred in this—Australian multi-hyphenate power move, and apparently shot it in basically a weekend.
Michael Caton was 80 filming this; his entire career built on playing lovably difficult Australian men, so casting him as a posthumous prankster dad is basically perfect meta-commentary.
