"TOMORROW A MILE"
FILM REVIEW
MIKE HARRIS
"THE AUSTRALIAN"
SEPTEMBER 4TH, 1974
Tomorrow A Mile is a strange sci-fi style story of a man (Lex Mitchell) who tunes in on
thought-waves, and his head is a cacophony of other peoples' fantasies and idle
ruminations.
Barry Brown (sound recordist) has done a really superb job of evocative sound recording here, and Ross Hamilton, the director, keeps his story and actors at the end of their psychological tether the whole time.
Indeed, Hamilton might do well to consider concentrating on suspense for a while at least.
With Tomorrow A Mile, he's shown an impressive grasp of "setting it up," and I think after a couple more short outings like this one he'll be ready to tackle a feature.
It's evident he has talent, although detail attention was lacking - there were some appalling continuity lapses.
But I'll watch his progress with interest.
