    This wildly ill-conceived curiosity from Australia — apparently intended as a Cabaret meets From Here to Eternity romance — is an obscure must for Matt Dillon fans, although he seems understandably ill at ease in a musical drama set in the Second World War. Dillon's a troubled American GI who goes AWOL in Sydney and hides out with nightclub singer Debbie Byrne, who has a dance routine for every melodramatic development. Lots of flashy production numbers fail utterly to evoke the right era or further the scanty plot, but Australian stalwarts like Bryan Brown and Bill Hunter bolster the bizarre proceedings.
