Cameleon
Crynodeb
Yn y ddrama ddwys ac emosiynol hon gwelwn Delme Davies (Aneirin Hughes) yn ffoi o erchylltra'r Ail Ryfel Byd gan guddio yn nhŷ teras ei fam. Wrth symud o dŷ i dŷ trwy'r atig sy'n cysylltu rhwng pob tŷ yn y teras, gall osgoi cael ei ddal...ac ar yr un pryd edrych ar fywydau'r rheiny y mae'n dresbaswr yn eu tŷ. Yn raddol, mae'n camu mewn i fywyd pob un o'r tai, gyda chanlyniadau trawiadol a phellgyrhaeddol. [o becyn y wasg gwreiddiol S4C]
Ym 1942, mae Delme Davies, gwr ifanc penderfynol gyda delfrydau uchel, yn ymuno â'r fyddin er mwyn chwilio am gyffro a antur. Un noson, mae'n dychwelyd adref at ei fam weddw, Iwanna a'i frawd, Elfed Davies yn annisgwyl.
Mae'n absennol heb ganiatâd o'r fyddin ac mae'n cuddio yn llofftydd Temple Row, teras o fythynnod di-liw ym mhentref genedigol Delme yn Ne Cymru lle mae ei deulu'n byw. [o wefan ffilmiau S4C]

Adolygiadau
Adolygiad Derek Elley ar gyfer Variety [3]
Dyfyniad o'r adolygiad : "Cameleon" is a small-scale period drama about a World War II deserter that is beautifully crafted but rarely engages the emotions. Pic looks to be the wrong project for Welsh-lingo channel S4C's first foray into the international feature market; its real home is the small screen, with occasional fests en route.

Dyfyniadau o'r "Director’s Statement"
"What I really wanted to do was make a simple film, devoid of any flashy pyrotechnics, that is emotional and affecting"
"For me, that is Cameleon, a quiet piece, set in my home district, abut a period and an event that galvanised a row of six terraced houses."
Dyma ddyfyniadau o Ddatganiad i’r wasg gan S4C, 6 Mehefin 1998 - "S4C Wins Top Award at Tralee"
"Celtic Film and TV Festival honours S4C’s first theatric film Cameleon"
"S4C’s Director of Broadcasting, Dafydd Rhys said, "Once again winning this major award reflects S4C’s commitment to quality films specifically produced for the screen. Cameleon’s success – our first film to be produced under S4C’s Theatric Policy – both at home and abroad has further underlined to us the importance of maintaining and nurturing our theatric policy."
