What happens
Sunday Costs Five Pesos is a 1957 Australian television film based on the one-act stage play of the same name by Josefina Niggli. Aired live in Melbourne, it was a comedy set in Mexico. A kinescope recording was made of the broadcast and shown in Sydney at a later date. These were the only two cities in Australia with television at the time. Duration of the television play was approximately 30 minutes, and aired on ABC. It was one of the first comedies produced for Australian television, which had begun less than a year earlier.
