Ring of Scorpio is a 1990 Australian TV miniseries by Alan Bateman, Errol Sullivan and Kim Williams. It was made with assistance from the Film Finance Corporation Australia, BBC Television and the Nine Network. [1] It was shot in Morocco, Spain, Sydney and Broken Hill. [2]
The casting of Americans Jack Scalia (who had recently completed a season-long role in Dallas) and Catherine Oxenberg (then best known for her role as Amanda on Dynasty), and Briton Caroline Goodall was indicative of a trend in Australian miniseries from the e
arly 1990s to cast well-known foreign actors in leading roles to increase the potential appeal to international audiences. [3]
Ring of Scorpio was nominated for an AFI Award for 'Best Television Mini Series or Telefeature' in 1991. It rated well in a small number of IMDb user reviews, garnering an average of 7.1/10 [6]
