What happens

The Box is a 1975 Australian film adaptation, based on the Australian soap opera of the same name produced by Crawford Productions and featuring much of the cast from the regular series, albeit on a different timeline from the series. The film also features Graham Kennedy playing himself, and Cornelia Frances in the key role of Dr. S. M. Winter, an efficiency expert brought in to improve operations at UCV-12. Robin Ramsay played Winter's assistant Bruce. Marilyn Vernon as starlet Ingrid O'Toole, and Leonie Bradley, credited as "Nature Girl", provide nude glimpses, as does the returning Belinda Giblin as Kaye Webster. Keith Lee played Price, and Robert Forza appeared as Channel 12's clapper loader. George Mallaby, whose character Paul Donovan had left the station to live in Bali, also returned; Paul briefly resumed his relationship with Kaye. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
