Todd Mason: Nadine Gordimer Stories: as noted in this blog previously:
The Gordimer Stories
A selection of eight short films, including an interview with Nadine Gordimer herself, which was shown on at least some PBS stations as a series, all the drama set in South Africa in depths of apartheid and the small and large tragedies those laws force upon the characters, and the attempts to subvert and overcome the noxious racist regime.
...which included:
City Lovers (1982):
A short film based on Nadine Gordimer's story, and presented on public stations in the 1980s as part of the Nadine Gordimer Stories package, this was the most affecting of the group among those I saw, offering a charming yet telling liaison between a young "colored" ("mixed-race") South African woman and an older "white" German visitor to SA, back in the last years of apartheid, and how his foolhardiness and the insanity of the national institutional racism messes them over.

I'll clearly have to watch THE BURGLAR again - I saw it about 15 years ago in a season devoted to Goodis and remember quite liking it, not least for its various hommages to the work of Orson Welles. But I haven't seen it since though ...
The cinematography, as distinct from the acting and direction, is superb. Hard to tell if Goodis's script would've worked much better with somewhat less, shall we put it, over-demonstrative performances. Well, as mentioned, Vickers isn't bad at what she does here.
