Movie review - "Bootleg" (1985) **

 Queensland oddity. Low budget film from John Prescott who made a successful short. At heart this is a short film, or a fringe play - an undergraduate-esque experimental thing about a private eye (John Flaus) coming up to Queensland to find a missing girl, getting involved in hookers (including Carmen Duncan), corrupt cops (Ray Meagher, excellent), anti nuclear demonstrators (John Gregg) and various others. It grabs at various themes and ideas, never seems to develop any of them. But it is of interest.
