A Touch of Reverence is a 1974 Australian mini-series about an Anglican minister[1] whose success as a rainmaker lands him in court.[2]

Plot

The Rev. Alex Bartlett is a progressive Anglican parson in suburban Sydney who builds a mini-golf course in the churchyard, angering the congregation and the Bishop.[3] The Bishop sends Bartlett to the small town of Bulawot in central New South Wales, which is experiencing a severe drought.[3] Locals are depressed due to the drought and not attending church but Bartlett suggests they all pray for rain, with stunning results.[3]

Cast

Production

The series was filmed on location in Stuart Town in central Western New South Wales, and Sydney. Heavy rain and snow in Stuart Town caused delays in filming.[3]
