No Room to Run
No Room to Run is a 1977 Australian television film about an American businessman who kills a man in Sydney. The lead actors, writer, producer and director were all American. It stars real-life husband and wife Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.
It was the first in a series of six TV movies made as co productions between the ABC and Los Angeles–based Transatlantic Enterprises.
Nick Loomis is vice-president in charge of public relations with an international corporation. He travels to Australia to promote the American Youth Orchestra who are performing at the Sydney Opera House. His boss, Garth Kingswood plans to follow within a few days.
Loomis is met at the airport by his company's Sydney representative, Ralph Fleming. Fleming tells him about the mysterious death of employee Jack Deakin.
Loomis finds himself on the run for murder.
The ABC's Controller of Television, John Cameron, was interested in getting the ABC involved in international co-productions, to maximise the ABC's drama budget and to increase the chance of overseas sales. Through Global Television, the ABC's distribution in London, they got in contact with 20th Century Fox who agreed to handle US sales for the ABC-BBC show Ben Hall. Fox's representative, Robert Kline, suggested remaking Adventures in Paradise on location and in colour but Cameron felt the islands were too far from Australia. Cameron suggested a series set in the Gulf of Carpentaria and Klein agreed.
Klein ended up going into business on his own as Transatlantic Enterprises, and it was that company that went into partnership with the ABC. They were going to do a feature-length pilot, then according to Cameron "it seemed that it was going to be easier to get money for a larger package than for one or two singles."
They decided to make a series of TV movies instead. Originally it was six, which then grew to 18 over three years. The films were to have budgets of $1.5 to 2 million and would be screened on ABC television with the option of a theatrical release elsewhere.
