Last Call is a 1958 Australian TV play set in a South American country. It was directed by Christopher Muir. [4]
General Zaguerro is the President of a fictitious South African republic. He has to decide whether to lead his army against the enemy or stay at his headquarters and defend his niece's honour. [5]
It was broadcast in a series of "live" dramas that were shown every fortnight on Sunday night on ABV-2 Melbourne. In order, they were The Governess, The Last Call, The Rose without a Thorn, The Lark, Citizen of Westminster, and Enemy of the People (the last of "the season"). [6]
Some outdoor scenes were shot at Moorabbin Airport. [7]
Judith Thompson later appeared in another South American set drama, You Can't Win 'Em All. [8]
