Port of Escape (unfinished film)

Port of Escape was a proposed Australian feature film shot in 1960 from the Tas-American Television Corporation.

[2] John Calvert had visited Australia several times with his stage act, often announcing film projects.

In 1950 he said he wanted to make four features there[3] including one about Burke and Wills, but then he decided that was too dull a subject matter.

[4][5] He tried to get up another movie called Strange Horizons which he intended to make in Mackay[6][7] but he was unable to get approval from Actors Equity to import the personnel he wanted.

[10][11] The film co-starred dancer Pilita Corrales who Calvert brought out to Australia with him in 1959.
