| Notes | Superb re-creation of chaotic situation in Indonesia on eve of Sukarno being deposed. The film centers around an Australian reporter and his 'dwarf' sidekick. This character, Billy Kwan, is actually played by the actress LInda Hunt. I saw her simply as small but the character is referred to as 'goblin-like'. A real dwarf is played by Bernardo Nacilla. From the novel by C.J. Koch.
