The Purple Jacaranda

The Purple Jacaranda was an Australian television mini-series which aired on ABC in 1964. Cast included James Condon, Margo Lee, Ronald Morse, Diana Perryman, Walter Sullivan and John Unicomb.[1] The archival status of the series is not confirmed, and little information on this series is available online.[2][3]

Background

In the early 1960s, ABC aired a series of historical mini-series: Stormy Petrel (1960), The Outcasts (1961), The Patriots (1962), and The Hungry Ones (1963). The Purple Jacaranda, however, featured a then-contemporary setting. It was based on a 1958 radio serial.[4] Unlike the historical serials, which got largely positive response by viewers and critics, The Purple Jacaranda was a critical failure.
