Lucinda Brayford, made in 1980 and based on the novel by Martin Boyd Brayford tells the story of Lucinda Vane who marries aide de camp to the Governor of Melbourne Hugo Brayford but has things turn sour on her when the couple move to England just after the end of world war one.
Lucinda proves herself to be a modern independent woman though and despite the trial thrown at her manages to overcome them. A straight forward story well told Lucinda Brayford and lead Wendy Hughes is first class, she ages throughout the production from 18 to 45 and there is also an early role for the brilliant Sam Neill.
