Igor Auzins

High Rolling (Igor Auzins, 1977) prod. Tim Burstall for Hexagon Productions, wr. Forrest Redlich, dp Dan Burstall; Joseph Bottoms, Grigor Taylor, Judy Davis (film debut), John Clayton, Wendy Hughes; comedy adventure as two adventurers encounter drug dealers

[High Rolling] was the first feature by a Melbourne television director, Igor Auzins. He had joined Crawford Productions in 1969 and worked as a cameraman and, after 1971, as director on Division Four, Homicide and other series. He became producer of Homicide in 1974 but left Crawford when the series was abandoned. As a freelance director he made documentaries for the South Australian Film Corporation, numerous television commercials, and also telemovies for Reg Grundy Productions and other companies. Pike & Cooper: 315.

Redlich opts for the easy effect every time, however, and the facile script is hardly helped by Logie award-winning TV director Igor Auzins' flat visual style. David Stratton: 37.
