Number 96: The Movie is an Australian drama film, released in 1974 and based on the television soap opera of the same title that was then running on the 0-10 network. The film features nearly all the show's regular cast, and was created by the show's creative team, Cash Harmon Productions with the screenplay by David Sale and Johnny Whyte and directed by Peter Benardos and Brian Phillis.[1]
The film's drawcard was that the picture was shot in color, whilst at that time the regular serial was still broadcasting in monochrome.[1] The film also has more revealing nudity than was allowed on TV at the time.
