* DemotedToExtra: Colonel Henderson. In the film he merely serves as Hamilton's romantic rival for Jill, and for establishing Jill's intelligence credentials as a defence attache. The book puts a lot more emphasis on the espionage work that Henderson has to put in and he also [[spoiler: rescues guy when his eye gets knocked out by the Indonesian army at the presidential palace.]]

A 1982 romantic drama film [[TheFilmOfTheBook based on]] the 1978 novel of the same name by C.J. Koch, directed by Creator/PeterWeir and starring Creator/MelGibson, Creator/LindaHunt, and Creator/SigourneyWeaver. This was one of the first film co-productions between the U.S. and Australia, as Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer funded the entire production after the South Australian Film Corporation backed out out its involvement.
Set in 1965 Indonesia, it tells the story of a romance between an ambitious Australian reporter and a beautiful, sophisticated British diplomat at a time of unrest and revolution. Linda Hunt gives an amazing, gender-bending performance as half-Australian, half-Chinese dwarf photographer Billy Kwan.
