Clip description
Tony (Rod Mullinar) tears up a cheque given to him by his lover, Paul (Sean McEuan). Tony says he already has everything Paul aspires to.
Curator’s notes
Tony torments Paul with a reminder of their difference in class. Paul is from a working-class background and wants to ‘make the grade’ in sophisticated society. The homosexual tension between the characters adds a punchy layer to the scene. Both actors in this scene are English. Born in Hereford, Rod Mullinar migrated in the late ‘60s and forged a highly successful career in Australian film and TV.
