What happens
Act of Violence is a 1959 television play broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It was based on a play by Australian writer Iain Mac Cormick which had previously been broadcast in Britain in 1956. This was typical of Australian television at the time - most locally produced drama consisted of adaptations of overseas stories. Act of Violence aired live on 25 March 1959 in Sydney and on 1 April 1959 aired a taped version in Melbourne (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
