One up on me, I'd never got that far. All I know is Colby (married to Cheryl Ladd in the film) is chatted up in the Opera Bar, gives a lift to a femme fatale on the excuse of loving his Morgan, and she invites him up to see her etchings. She subsequently accuses him of rape and mayhem ensues. Shez obviously had a matching Mog, who knew, though I have often wondered what the solid red Morgan on the poster was about? I believe the book (novel?) was set in San Francisco, but in the early 80s Australia was becoming a "destination" probably some tourism money thrown around to make this tripe. I don't remember ever being able to drive under the Opera House like in the film, you certainly can't now, but there is an underground car park nearby which they might have used. I had thankfully also forgotten AIr Supply's "Now and Forever" which was quite the hit here at least. I'm also not aware of a prison (I guess that is what is happening at the end) on the Hawkesbury only accessible by boat with armed guards, how very Alcatraz.

Back to the case at hand, I don't think my grey is quite as flat as the black (which looks stunning btw). I'd also not spotted the colour mismatch in the movie, but I had never paused it either. So she must have had the bonnets resprayed before 1983 for some reason, bearing in mind she was only 5 years old then. The wings look quite orange in the still, they are much redder than that in reality. Might take another picture from the side if I get a chance this weekend, to give you another look. The more I think about it, the more I think I'll just leave her alone, and see if I can clean up what's there a little.
