Petersen
Jack Thompson stars as Tony Petersen, a former football hero who goes to university in pursuit of an arts degree and becomes the object of lust for Dr Patricia Kent (Wendy Hughes), an English tutor who also happens to be the wife of one of Petersen's lecturers.

Critics were quick to dismiss Petersen as another ocker sex comedy in the vein of director Tim Burstall's other features Stork and Alvin Purple, but David Williamson's script was more interested in examining the chasm between Petersen's home life and the radicalised university campus life he finds himself traversing in.
