Paradise is a 1975 Australian TV movie produced by Robert Bruning and directed by Bill Hughes.
He wanted to move into TV movie production and succeeded in selling Paradise to Channel Nine, who were considering making it a 26-episode series.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald the network hoped the film "to be a slick, glossy offering along the lines of Banacek.
"[1] It was shot in Surfers Paradise, with Bruning using several collaborators he had worked with on his TV shows such as director Bill Hughes.
I would like to forget it" but managed to sell it outright to Paramount, who showed the film in prime time syndication on American TV.
