(The picture is from a Mardi Gras Festval in 2000, and the guy in the picture is Simon Hall)."PRISONER QUEEN on Friday afternoon was an absolute riot(pardon the pun)! It brought back so many fond memories of Prisoner and it would have to be one of the funniest Australian queer films ever. Thought the acting was spot on and fantastic. The lead actor was cute and definitley a talent to look out for. The scenes were he is dressed as the prison officer were fully hilare! Especially the scenes on a tram where he threatens to put the ticket officer in the pound or whatever. The dying mother was excellent and the script was very subtle and moved along at a good pace, which is something quite uncommon for a low budget queer film. If you want a good laugh and cry with a film filled with cute melbourne boys, ex-Prisoner stars, Chrissy Amphlett drag queens, midgets and fine acting watch out for this movie."
