Ebbtide
''Ebbtide'' is a 1994 Australian direct-to-video film Plot Lawyer Jeff Warren takes over a compensation case after the sudden death of one of his partners. Production Screenwriter Bob Ellis later claimed the original script "was a really terrific Chandleresque film noir that bears no resemblance to the eventual film." Retrieved 14 October 2012 He asked to be credited as "Robert Ellis". Director Craig Lahiff: Bob did a script and it was very difficult to raise money for it. It was more of a personal film. It had a particular style to it which might have been better if Bob had shot and directed. But in the end, because I'd spent a lot of money and time on it, we tried to give it a different approach and got another writer, Peter Goldsworthy. |
