The title of the movie should actually be "Salieri"‚ because the whole movie is really about his jealousy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and how Salieri was overshadowed musically by Mozart. In the beginning‚ Salieri makes a "deal" with God so He will make Salieri a musical genius‚ and Salieri believes he has been granted this gift until the day Mozart comes to Vienna. Salieri immediately becomes jealous that God has bestowed upon Mozart the power he himself worked so desperately to achieve. From that

Although Archy and Frank were both athletes‚ this is the only thing they have in common. As a typical Australian film‚ a main or important character die.
