I used the search function, but could find no mention of this movie.

Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but I just wondered if anyone has ever seen “Wake In Fright” and if so, have you identified any seemingly Dramatica-related parts to this film?

It’s a 1970 Australian movie that mesmerizes me in the same way that “The Shawshank Redemption” does.

I’m relatively new to Dramatica, and I noticed there is a very intriguing scene at the 24:35 mark that introduces what seems to be an Impact Character (the alcoholic doctor), but I wondered also what Dramatica “role” the police man would play, as he is clearly very important to the story also.

The film can be viewed here for Amazon Prime members [https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07GFKXWKK](https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07GFKXWKK) and the IMDB page can be found here: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067541](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067541)
