Australian Novel's Film Chance

Mr. Joseph Kaufman, an independent film producer, said last night he had bought an option on the Australian novel, "Come Away Pearler," by Colin

Simpson and would most likely make a film of it.

Mr. Kaufman, who is at present producing the film, "Long John Silver," at Page-wood Studios, said that if he filmed "Come Away Pearler" it would be in colour.

"I am very impressed with the possibilities of the book, which deals with all the area round the Barrier Reef and north and south-east of the Coral Sea, which lends itself to colour," he said.
