The Making of Chunuk Bair
Television (Full Length) – 1991
Oh we'll take Chunuk Bair. But in our own time, and in our own bloody way!– Colonel Connolly (Kevin J Wilson) delivers a promise to his men
Understandably Maurice was fairly hesitant. Here I was, a first-time director and this was his baby, his creative work and to hand it over, which you have to do, and trust me...that was a hard decision for him.– Director Dale Bradley on persuading author Maurice Shadbolt to let him adapt his play for screen
It's such a small acting community in New Zealand and we all get to work with each other so often — time and time again — and it's really great to have a fresh actor come in, especially an international actor like Robert, who's worked on so much.– Actor Kevin J Wilson on working alongside British actor Robert Powell
