Touch and Go is a 1980 Australian heist film starring Wendy Hughes.
Production
The movie was the idea of director Peter Maxwell. It was originally intended to be set on Hayman Island but Reg Ansett, who had interests on the island at the time, was not keen on showing a robbery on the island.[2]
It was made with funding from Greater Union, the Queensland Film Corporation and Australian Film Commission.[3]
Shooting began in November 1979 with a month's worth of filming at Maroochydore and Noose Heads, and eight weeks of night shooting in Sydney. Scenes set in a Barrier Reef island were shot at a Maroochydore hotel. Its original shooting title was Friday the 13th but this was changed when the horror movie with the same name came out.[1]
Release
The film only ran for three weeks in a cinema in Brisbane.[1]
