The City's Edge is a 1983 Australian film co-written by aboriginal playwright Bob Merritt.[1]
Plot
Andy comes to Sydney and falls in love with the sister of a heroin addict.
Production
The film was originally entitled Running Man and was never released theatrically in Australia although it was in the UK.[2]
Merritt later claimed he preferred to "write off" the experience but says it gave him the track record to make Short Changed (1985).[3]
