NOTES: A supreme performer for Hoyts, ranking highly on the Saturday night circuit and top billed on every occasion. Considering its decent PPE score it could have been given a few more plays (only three engagements after week 7). A mixture of supporting features, with Holiday in Havana gaining the most pairings.
