The Summer of the 17th Doll action is set in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton in 1953, focussing on the lives of six central characters.ĭirector Joseph Mitchell already had some very clear ideas for how he wanted the production to look and feel, so Trudy and set designer Simone Romaniuk worked closely to evoke the ambience and period feel of the piece.

![]() ![]() Numerous editions of I Am Legend have been published over the years. Hard or soft science fiction? Psychological horror? Last-person-on-earth? Post-apocalyptic? Vampire? Zombie?

As a result, she had a very peculiar form of amnesia: whenever she woke up in the morning, she believed it to be the morning of the accident, because she couldn’t remember anything that had happened since.
