Movie review - "Touch and Go" (1980) *

 I can see the appeal of the concept - women decide to team up and rob the rich fror charity - and while Peter Yeldham was a decent writer Peter Maxwell was an ordinary director and the budget too low when it needed glossy treatment.

Easy to spot the flaws - couldn't tell the lead characters apart, too many leads, no progression or dynamics in the relationsips, minimal conflict, no baddy. There's three main girls - Wendy Hughes, Chantal Contouri, Carmen Duncan - but then they throw in Barbara Stephens as a teacher, and Jeannie Drynan and Liddy Clarke and Christine Amor. Why?

Why not have one turn traitor or die or something?

Queensland doesn't even look pretty. It's crap.
