icons' Ken 'Kandy' Johnson and Tracey Lee. Lee (real name Maxwell Ritchie) was a cabaret artiste and female impersonator who had been active on the Sydney club scene as a female impersonator since 1953. He created the persona of Tracey Lee in 1959. Johnson, who started drag performances at parties in the early 60's, became a Sydney club entrepreneur in Sydney's 'camp' scene, first opening Kandy's Garden of Eden in Enmore, became a partner in night club The Purple Onion, and opened Ken's Karate Klub, the sauna which became Ken's of Kensington, before closing in 2012. Release The censor demanded a dozen cuts before the film was passed for export. The producers appealed and in the end, only four words were deleted. The film was refused registration as an Australian quota production under the quality clause of the New South Wales Film Quota Act. The film was not a success at the box office. However, it has since come to be regarded as a cult movie in part because of its depiction of homosexuality. Ward's original novel was finally published in 2011. He claimed he was working on a sequel. Home Entertainment Release The Set was given its first home entertainment release on DVD and VOD, shortly after its 50th anniversary by Bounty Films. The DVD included extensive interviews with the remaining cast and crew, a PDF of Ward's novel, never been before cut and bonus scenes and a 32-page booklet with original newspaper articles and ads from Roger Ward's personal collection.
