For Love Alone

For Love Alone is a 1986 Australian film directed by Stephen Wallace and starring Helen Buday, Hugo Weaving and Sam Neill. The screenplay was written by Wallace, based on the 1945 novel of the same name by Christina Stead. The film marked the screen debut of Naomi Watts. The film was entered into the 37th Berlin International Film Festival.

The film was a pet project for Margaret Fink who took six years to raise finance. The bulk of the money came from a presale to Greater Union and from UA. Fink had been impressed by Stir and asked Stephen Wallace to direct.Fay Weldon wrote some early drafts but neither Fink or Wallace were happy with them so Wallace did the adaptation himself. Wallace says it took him three and a half years to write the script. ........
