Editor reviews
Narrator Dino Marnika eases himself into another Les Norton story, and listeners will welcome his familiar, breezy performance. This time around, Les has just put in $50,000 into Gull's movie, figuring he'd become the next Sam Goldwyn. Instead, he finds himself accused of sabotaging the production with a bomb, and next thing he knows, he's on the run from the law. Marnika handles the outsized characters - including Satanists, drug dealers, poets, and DJs - with aplomb, never rushing through the story but keeping its pace tight as Les tries to clear his name.
Summary
Les figured by tossing $50,000 into the Gull's movie he'd become the next Sam Goldwyn. Only someone put a bomb on the film set. And who gets the blame? Now Norton's a fugitive from the law, desperate to prove his innocence. Satanists, drug dealers, nutty poets, blabbermouth disc jockeys - everybody between Sydney, the Blue Mountains, and South Australia wants a piece of Les Norton. So what are Norton's chances of clearing his name and coming up smelling of roses? VFO. But rely on Les to come up smelling of something.
