The Killing of Angel Street
- The Killing of Angel Street
The Killing of Angel Street, 1981 Australian thriller, based on the real life disappearance of Juanita Nielson, an activist against mass development in Sydney in the late 1970s.
The film stars Elizabeth Alexander as Jessica Simmonds, who returns home from London to discover the street she grew up in being torn down by developers for high rise developments. Her father (played by Alexander Archdale), a vocal opponent of the developers, is killed in a suspicious fire and Jessica takes up the cause of the local residents. She joins forces with Jeff Elliot John Hargreaves, a union leader, but as they probe further into the background of the development they unearth sinister connections between the development group and organised crime.
The film is directed by Donald Crombie and was shot in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The mysterious disappearance of Juanita Nielson inspired Phillip Noyce for his film Heatwave (1982), too.
