Double Deal is a 1981 Australian film about a bored wife of a rich man who has an affair and becomes a thief.[4]
Angela Punch McGregor later said she was "amazed" to be offered the role of a model but accepted the part because she had not worked for a while.
I feared that if I didn't do it I would go down the plug hole The role was a mistake; the film was a mistake. But I didn't know that at the time. Brian Kavanagh turned out to be one of the most sensitive directors to actors that I have ever come across, but I don't think he should write his own scripts.[5]The film was made without government investment.[6]
Peter and Christine Sterling have an uneventful marriage. When a stranger comes into their lives, Christine is intrigued, and the two begin an affair. Things escalate and the two philanderers soon plot to rob Peter of a precious gemstone.
