Production

The title came from the old country saying that when there is enough blue sky to cut out bell bottomed breeches the worst of the storm is over.

It is believed to be the first drama production shot at Garden Island where H.M.A.S. Vendetta, a destroyer, is moored, and also at the Sydney Opera House.

Reception

The Age called it "enjoyable". Filmink called it "charming".
