Описание: FOUR MORE SCREENPLAYS BY PAUL SMITH GOING BACK is a movie inspired by a true story of love, courage and determination set in a land at peace, Australia; and a land at war... Cambodia. It is the story of people made into refugees by war: the orphans, the old, the young and those who have lost everything and the effect that deadly landmines often have on them. It is the story of the few from America and Australia who stand up to help and love and befriend and help them. But it is mostly the amazing true story of one man who rises out of the depth of despair and through a stroke of good fortune sets off on an odyssey into a living hell and by his inventiveness and sense of humour many lives are saved and changed. Unlike other stories set in Vietnam and Cambodia that tell of war from the soldiers point of view, GOING BACK tells the tale of an ordinary man and people who act extraordinarily in the worst kinds of situations. It is a story from the recent past that could have been ripped from the headlines of today and probably tomorrow. It is an important story, a sad, funny, weird, fantastic, awful, heroic story of war and love and peace and friendship that had to be told. THE GREATEST GAME unites sport, comedy and romance with a 'lost in the wilderness' adventure. It is the story of a clash of rival codes of football (Australian and American), two sets of lovers and two cultures: the most ancient and modern. It takes up the challenge to discover... what is The Greatest Game? It is spectacular, hilarious, sexy, fast-paced and full of surprises and witty conversations. Get to know the innocent (American) youth abroad, the tough Irishman, the down-to-earth beautiful Australian female, the over-the-top sexy Southern belle and her millionaire father and the wise old aborigine, his loving grandson and many others in novel that spans 50,000 years and two continents. Who will finish up in bed with whom? What happened to the ten lost Australian Rules football players in the wilds of Tasmania that was so outrageous that they took an oath in blood never to reveal it? Who invented The Greatest Game and who kicked the greatest winning goal? What is The Greatest Game? GOLF IS MURDER Playboy and infamous U.S. golfer, Parley Brown is found dead on the 17th hole of the world famous Royal Melbourne Golf Course. Miles Driver, ex-homicide detective turned golf pro. is about to hit off in his first professional golf tournament, The Australian Open.

The tournament must go on and Driver has until the end to find the killer. THE ZEN-GOLF MURDER Golfing champion and ex-homicide detective Miles Driver, his beautiful wheelchair-bound new wife Clare and his recently discovered mysterious father and caddie Spider Walker are in Japan for their Open Championship. Clare is kidnapped and Driver's new sponsor the giant Japanese golfing product corporation Fun-Tee inform him that their founder and legendary golfing master Itichi, inventor of the revolutionary and potentially lucrative Zen-Golf method of playing is also taken.
