Came a hot Friday poster, 1984

The poster for the 1984 feature comedy Came a hot Friday indicates the raw energy that drives both the film and the book it is based on. Ronald Hugh Morrieson wrote Came a hot Friday and three other distinctive 'Kiwi gothic' novels in the 1960s and 1970s, drawing on characters and situations he had known as a hard-drinking Taranaki musician.
