Friend or Foe – Film and Theatre

Friend or Foe was adapted into a film directed by John Krish in 1982. The family-friendly, wartime story stars John Bardon, Stacy Tendeter, and John Holmes. 

Over thirty years later in 2013, Friend or Foe was shown as part of a theatrical retrospective of Krish’s work. Then, in 2014, it was screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
