Of the two Australian game shows bearing the title Wheel of Fortune (both produced by Reg Grundy), only the second program bore any relation to the long-running American series of the same name. In fact, the later Wheel of Fortune was a carbon copy of the American original, with an effusive host, an attractive "letter-turner," a giant revolving wheel, and a "Hangman"-style format. Unlike the American Wheel of Fortune, which for nearly two decades was presided over by Pat Sajak and Vanna White, there has been quite a turnover of hosts and female assistants since the Australian Wheel debuted in 1981. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Dead Man's Float is a very short and occasionally sweet juvenile melodrama. A cheeky bunch of children who think they're pretty smart are in for a rude awakening when they confront a gang of drug smugglers who play for keeps. Since the film is aimed at the kiddie trade, the youngsters prevail over the villains, though it's nip and tuck for a while there. The film is nothing if not energetic, with its cast of unknowns breezing through the proceedings with confidence. Filmed in Australia, Dead Man's Float entertains during its swift 75 minutes, even though it doesn't stick to the ribs. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
