Across the Bridge (Australian Playhouse)

[1][2] "Across the Bridge" was written by Liane Keen and directed by Pat Alexander and originally aired on ABC on 17 October 1966.

[3][4][5] A man and a divorced woman who live alone in a houseover looking Sydney Harbour meet through the arrangement of mutual friends – and their few hours together open doorways to an understanding both deep and tenuous.

[5] The Age said it "had a pretty thin and somewhat hackneyed theme, but two experienced and talented actors to interpret it.

"[7] Another reviewer from the same paper said the script "had a strong ring of truth.

"[8] Filmink wrote "At times I could not help wondering if the actors were sending up the material... but this was a then-rare depiction of a divorced Australian mother in 1966, looking for love, slobbered over by predators, unsure of her place in the world.
