A nostalgic glimpse of life in the mid 1960's  with the successful and popular pop group of the time, The Twilights.
The film was made as a pilot to sell the series to a TV Network, and was never intended to be screened. Made on virtually nothing, it follows the stylistic approach that was used in The Beatles films.
Sadly, the Network didn't see the value in this local production proposal,  and the series never took off. But it was fun to make, and I think the Twilights give passable performances, given that there was virtually no rehearsal  prior to filming and they were dropped into the  deep end. Mary Hardy was known to Australian TV and theatre audiences as a great comedian and also a strong dramatic actress. Madeline Orr also was a talented actress, and created the original Madge Alsop in Barry Humphries productions. It is interesting  to speculate IF the series had been commissioned, how it would have looked and if it would have been successful.
Enjoy ONCE UPON A TWILIGHT.
