Jilted is a 1987 film directed by Bill Bennett.

## Plot

Two people who have had disastrous love affairs meet on a tropical island resort.

## Cast

* Richard Moir as Al
* Jennifer Cluff as Harry
* Steve Jacobs as Bob
* Helen Mutkins as Cindy
* Tina Bursill as Paula
* Ken Radley as Doug

## Production

The script was inspired by the breakup of Bennett's first marriage. Half the budget was raised by a pre-sale to J.C. Williamson and the movie was shot on Fraser Island in February 1987, near Orchid Beach Resort.

## Release

The film was not released theatrically, despite Tina Burstill winning an AFI Award for Best Supporting Actress. It was released on video in 1989.

Bill Bennett later said he feels the film was not as effective as it could have been, and together with the lack of success of Dear Cardholder led to him taking a break from making features for a number of years.
