This is New Zealand
Short Film (Excerpts) – 1970
With screenings increasing to eight per day, six days a week, the money that was taken paid for the total production cost in the one theatre — never been done to my knowledge ... we took it to the Odeon Christchurch where it continued it’s success, with ten screenings a day, and then, on to a sensational reception in Dunedin. The show then went to the Embassy in Auckland, where four rows of seats had to be pulled out, for the construction of a wide projection box.– National Film Unit boss Geoffrey Scott on the success of the film at Wellington's Embassy Theatre, Flicks and Pix magazine, date unknown
