There’s an opera in the mall element to the slapstick set piece when Sophie breaks her leg by falling from a great height amongst tenors, and on their holiday junkets and at parties, Sophie and Eddie are entertained by assorted performers. There’s also a boys’ choir at Eddie’s abortive wedding to Gloria. Below are a few sample stills - see also this site’s photo gallery. CD Release: A CD of music from the film was released. Most of the tracks were pop songs, with elements of Paul Grabowsky’s score for the film appearing as track nine as a kind of suite.

Lyrics for the song that runs over the head credits, a Joan Armatrading re-mix: I am not in love But I’m open to persuasion East or West Where's the best For romancing With a friend I can smile But with a lover I could hold my head back I could really laugh Really laugh Thank you You took me dancing 'Cross the floor Cheek to cheek But with a lover I could really move Really move I could really dance Really dance Really dance Really dance I could really move Really move Really move Really move Now if I can feel the sun In my eyes And the rain on my face Why can't I Feel … (The song fades out at this point to the sound of surging waves crashing on a rocky headland …in published versions, the rest of the song continues with these lyrics …) ...love I can really love Really love Really love Really love Really love Love love love love Love love love love Now I got all The friends that I want I may need more But I shall just stick to those That I have got With friends I still feel So insecure Little darling I believe you could Help me a lot Just take my hand And lead me where you will No conversation No wave goodnight Just make love With affection Sing me another love song But this time With a little dedication Sing it, sing it You know that's what I like Once more with feeling Give me love Give me love Give me love Love Instead of the later part of the song, the film embarks on a Greek island romantic fantasy with Sophie (Carides) speaking these lines: Sophie (v/o, over images of a Greek island beach, Theo and the trio making love): We had not known each other long, Madelaine and I, before we travelled together to Greece … to the islands. There we met Theo …she took him, and I watched …(then whispered) … ‘make love to me’ …I heard her whisper to him. He led us into a small white hut. ‘Come with us,’ she said …’come inside’ … I was sure I didn’t want to … but I went (sexual groaning from Theo) …I gazed at my friend as she made love with her beautiful, smooth-skinned Greek god. I was hypnotised … then my eyes met Madeline’s (sexual groaning from the naked Madeline as she writhes under Theo) … they coaxed me, they mocked me …they invited me … (At this point the camera turns to a pan across the reading room in the Victorian State Library in Melbourne … Sophie is at a reading desk, scribbling away with a fountain pen. She begins speaking aloud as she writes ,and is heard in the distance by Eddie - LaPaglia - as he looks at catalogues in the Jewellery book section) … It was the first time …the first time for anything like this. Words came from Madeline that I couldn’t believe …(Eddie hears her and turns to see and listen) … she even knew. Her pleasure shocked me and made me hot … (Eddie heads towards the reading desk) … she gave a long, sensuous groan, almost a sob, as he pulled away from her (Eddie sits down on the other side of the reading desk behind an obscuring dividing panel and listens to her words) … Then, he turned to me. I felt his breath on my skin … his lips …touching … Suddenly I felt it … just the tip of it …almost the size of a lemon (Eddie smiles as he listens) …lemon .. no no … (Sophie runs the nib through the line) …I ate, just to feel him swallowing … no, the other way round …filling, oh yuck … (Eddie also frowns) …devouring me (Eddie likes the line and waves a finger as music swells and we see the line ‘just to feel him devouring me’, then a CU on her eyes closing and then dissolve into Theo hoisting her into the air as he enters her) … Yes … we rode each other (gasping and swelling music as they ride) …like wild animals …(the threesome in action) … like beasts on a moonlit beach …we whirled into the Trojan Horse position, flying on a trapeze of lust. Suddenly we were both quivering (window frame flaps, outside a full moon, candles, foaming waves pounding on the cliff) shivering, quaking (groans, cries) … I cried out, but even as I did, my voice seemed to fade away, until everything went silent … (CU on Eddie listening rapt) … There was a lonely echo in the distance, then … (back in the library to see both of them on either side of the divided reading desk) … it was over … (She stops writing and caps her pen, Eddie leans back in his chair. He leans over and points his pen at the dividing panel) Eddie: Excuse me miss …(using the pen to tap on the dividing panel) …I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t tell you that that was the most memorable experience of my life … Sophie (to the panel): How long have you been listening? Eddie: Since you and your friend went back to the hut with the Greek … Sophie: She’s not my friend, she’s just a fictional character … Eddie(leaning over to look around the panel): Oh, I’m sorry, I thought it was your diary …” Sophie (also looking around the panel to look at him): No, it’s just a story …a work of fiction … I’m sorry, I hadn’t expected to get involved in this kind of conversation today … Eddie (standing up to look and smile at her): No, me neither ..
