[1] An English girl called Joanna marries an Australian wine-grower and moves to his family home in South Australia.
Joanna was caught up in Europe during World War Two and sent to a German concentration camp; she and her husband were separated for six years.
When she arrives at the vineyard she finds country life dull and decides to leave her husband and return to England.
"[12] The play was shot at the Melbourne ABC TV studios at Ripponlea with some additional location filming for a vineyard scene with Norman Kaye done at Chateau Tahbilk.
Well-known stage performers Norman Kaye and Lee Norton made their Australian TV debuts[13][14] Chris Muir worked in Melbourne.
[15] The Sydney Morning Herald critic wrote "the production was a success, to the extent of making much of little; for the play itself often slips out of its intended dramatic mould into something approaching melodrama... Patricia Connolly was very sweet and convincing, Lee Norton was a trifle brittle... Muir was well served by rich and spacious sets.
