film, on-screen couple David McCallum and Jill Ireland fell in love off screen as well, and married once they returned to England. Reception The film was popular at the Australian box office, although reviews were poor. Filmink magazine said "there's no real theme or story uniting it all... There's no interesting mystery or enigma to Starlight... All the cool things he does in the book... are cut out except for the bit where he impersonates a gent from England. There's no real relationship between Starlight and the boys... A real dull mess."
