The Night, the Prowler

The film includes numerous references to well-known Australians. As the camera pans around the room during the hippie party scene, it focuses on a large poster of Jimi Hendrix, painted by renowned Australian artist Martin Sharp. The scene in which Kerry Walker's character talks to a homeless woman in the park includes references to two famous Sydney characters of the post-war period. As the camera tracks towards the two women talking, the word "Eternity" is seen written on a rock face - a reference to Arthur Stace, a.k.a. "Mr Eternity", who walked the Sydney streets at night writing the word "Eternity" in copperplate script on footpaths and walls. The homeless woman (played in a cameo by famous Australian author Dorothy Hewett) is closely based on legendary Sydney eccentric Bee Miles, who (like Hewett's character) lived on the streets and regularly wore a large overcoat and a celluloid tennis visor.

Author Dorothy Hewett is incorrectly listed in the closing credits as "Dorothy Hewitt"
