Duet for Four is a 1982 film directed by Tim Burstall.
The script by David Williamson was originally commissioned by Hexagon Productions in the wake of the success of Petersen 1974. Tim Burstall asked Williamson to write a script on a mid life crisis even though he was young at the time. Williamson wrote the script in eight days under the title The Toy Man but Hexagon decided not to make it, even though at one stage it was announced as a vehicle for Jack Thompson.I was going through a midlife crisis of some sort and thought What is the nature of work? Have I wasted my time? Am I doing the right thing? That sort of thing. And toys was the industry we decided to use because it was being taken over by the Yanks. It was a sort of image of what was happening in film at the time. I dont think the picture works very well. ........
