This crime film's working titles were 'Snatch' and 'Softly Fell the Rain'. This movie bears no relationship to the later British crime film Snatch (2000).
This movie's opening preamble states: "At birth a man is offered only one choice - the time and place of his own death. But if this choice is without motive his life will never have been more than meaningless".
This film was produced with the assistance of the Creative Development Fund of the Australian Film Commission's Creative Development Branch.
With a running time just over an hour, this movie can be considered either a feature film or short feature and is included as a feature film in Scott Murray's book 'Australian Film 1978-1994'.
This film was only originally theatrically released in one Australian city and that was Melbourne, Australia where it was shot.
