The title comes from a poem written by scriptwriter Frederick Stahl. He was a friend of Heather Rose and the poem appeared in an early draft of the script. It reads: "Whatever fate may thrust at me. I'll never be the same. I've had less fear of times to be. Since first I heard your name. I need to feel secure from harm. I will not keep you long. Please hold me tight within your arm. And dance me to my song."
Final feature film of actress and screenwriter Heather Rose.
The type of disability that Julia (Heather Rose) had in this Rolf de Heer film was "cerebral palsy". This is the same that Annie O'Farrell (Tina Arhondis) had in another earlier Australian picture, the earlier Gil Brealey movie 'Annies Coming Out' (1984). Both directors have had strong associations with the South Australian Film Corporation.
The film's star Heather Rose once said that she did not want to make "just another soppy disability film".
The film was nominated for 2 AFI (Australian Film Institute) Awards in 1998 including Best Original Screenplay and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for Rena Owen but the film failed to win a gong in either category.
