Production

In the late 1970s Duigan wrote a script called Someone Left the Cake Out in the Rain about a European anti-nuclear campaigner who comes to Australia and meets a 60s radical turned yuppie. The film was never made but the former radical character was re used in Winter of Our Dreams.[1]

There were three weeks of rehearsals and five weeks of shooting in Kings Cross and Balmain.[1]

Winter of Our Dreams was popular, grossing $959,000 at the box office in Australia,[4] which is equivalent to $3,107,160 in 2009 dollars.
