Melvin: Son of Alvin

Though he received an 'introducing' credit, Australian actor Gerry Sont had actually appeared in two Aussie feature films - 'Early Frost' (1982) and 'Running on Empty' (1982) - as well as four home-grown television series - 'Waterloo Station', 'The Young Doctors', 'Glenview High' and 'A Country Practice'.

Before the film was released to cinemas, three cuts were ordered by the Commonwealth Film Censorship Board (now known as the 'Office of Film and Literature Classification') to avoid an 'R' rating. The material removed featured nudity and a simulation of oral sex. A complete "uncut" version of the film is still yet to see the light of day.
