Echoes of Paradise

Echoes of Paradise (also known as Shadows of the Peacock) is a 1987 Australian film directed by Phillip Noyce.

The film was written by Jan Sharp who was then married to the director Phil Noyce.

The story was originally set in Bali, where the movie was to be shot, but before filming began The Sydney Morning Herald ran a series of articles suggesting the wife of the Indonesian president was corrupt.

All Indonesian visas for Australians were cancelled and the script was rewritten to be set in Thailand, with several keys scenes shot in Sydney.

Wendy Hughes' character went through a very similar journey in the original story.
