Love Serenade


Love Serenade is a 1996 Australian comedy film written and directed by Shirley Barrett. It has the tagline: "Two sisters will do anything to hook the right man".
There are not many characters in Love Serenade, which is set in a fictitious, almost-deserted town called Sunray, located on the Murray River. It is a thinly disguised version of Robinvale, Victoria, which was the location of the film.
The film is about a pair of sisters, Dimity and Vicki-Ann, who share a house. Dimity, the shy and insecure sibling, is a waitress at a local Chinese restaurant. Vicki-Ann, the brash one, is a hair stylist. Both are looking for love, although the prospects in Sunray seem bleak, at best. That is, until Ken Sherry, a thrice divorced Brisbane DJ personality, moves into the house next door.
During the filming of the Silo Scene, stuntman Collin Dragsbaek died when he fell onto a faulty airbag.
