This Australian miniseries was set in Sydney, Australia, towards the end of World War II.
The story centred on a week in the life of three women – Guinea (Rebecca Gibney), Deb (Kerry Armstrong) and Claire (Lisa Harrow) – who all worked in the beauty salon of the prestigious South Pacific Hotel.
The miniseries was based on the 1940s book by Dymphna Cusack and Florence James.
The music was arranged by Martin Armiger (ex-The Sports) and a superb soundtrack featured Aussie jazz icon, Vince Jones.
