Australian ''TV movies'' of 1960
Actually, for the most part they are live television plays rather than "TV movies".
Not sure how many of them still exist as kinescope recordings or early video-tape.
Many were performances of overseas stage plays, a few were versions of works originally written for overseas anthology series, but a few were locally written. The list is probably slightly incomplete.
