Without Warning

Another Peter Yeldham written telemovie, this time a 1999 thriller I'd never heard of until I came across a copy. I'm assuming it was another late night weekend release. Starring Arkie Whiteley, Steve Bastoni, Mark Lee and Kym Wilson, it's about a woman (Whiteley) who gets caught in an extortion plot from psycho traffic cop (Bastoni) who has a sideline in extorting money from people he pulls over by threatening to release their darkest secrets. Has a baffling plot involving Bastoni always talking about his computer which ends up being the thing that is his undoing. Gotta love a late 90s understanding of the internet, that hasn't dated in the slightest.

There's brief nude scene from Arkie Whiteley where she shows her bottom briefly while in the shower although it's possibly a double. Whiteley does have nude scenes in Razorback and the British telemovie The Last Musketeer. Strangely, Whiteley has a British accent in this movie but I must say that after an early career where she acted in a bunch of Australian productions, she reinvented herself as a British actress and a fairly successful one before she died in 2001. I think this was her only Australian production post-reinvention.

Not sure Kym Wilson ever had a nude scene, can't seem to think of anything. She was very prominent in the 90s in Australia possibly to the point of being huge having big roles in things like Brides Of Christ, Flirting, A Country Practise and Heartbreak High. She graced the covers of many magazines and I seem to remember she did a nude photo shoot, couldn't tell you where though, but I've seen it. Apparently she's back acting again.
