Notes: WIP drama benefitted from the large number of Saturdays it enjoyed as a support to Three Came Home. In fact it had the 12th most Saturdays of all and the 15th most engagements. Most notably, it was top ranked for the most second billings of the year. Long after Hoyts was through with it, the film continued to be rented out as support on the Union and Suburban circuits taking it to a respectable (for its status) 110 EF points.
