The only film I've seen from the notorious Rupert Kathner. The story of the making of this is more interesting than what winds up on screen, with it starting in 1947 as a film by Harry Southwell and going through a lot of start stop shenanigans. Some scenes with voice over which is a low budget giveaway.
Amateurish acting. But it is a 1951 Australian film which gives it some novelty. Kathner himself plays Aaron Sherritt.
It's not very good - alright, it's terrible - but the fact it's a Kelly story gives it some momentum. And it is really hard to make a movie. It has action, it only wants to entertain. It's weird the NFSA issued this on DVD>
