Review of Come in Spinner

A rare look at the Australian home front during WW2 through the eyes of a talented trio of actresses. Lisa Harrow, Kerry Armstrong and Rebecca Gibney are uniformly excellent in depicting the trials and tribulations of women in Sydney during the war.The men in this series are a rather motley crew that will find little empathy with the audience. We end up with three heroines in vain search for an acceptable hero. Their final choices are tragic for one and hardly optimistic for the other two. I was surprised that the award winning performance of Rebecca Gibney did not result in acting offers in the U.S. where she is little known. She certainly deserved more recognition outside of Australia. Definitely worth watching to see the talents of a cast relatively unknown in the U.S.
