Production

It is likely that the film was directed jointly by the three lead actors, Sydney Stirling, Cyril Mackay and Leonard Willey. It was the first of four movies they made for West's Pictures in 1912. Cyril Mackay (d. 1923) was a London stage actor brought out to Australian by J.C. Williamson in 1906.[4]

Reception

The film was described as being a "splendid draw" with the public.[5] It was likely the first thriller film made in Australia.[6]

Willey and Irby Marshall were real life husband and wife. They later moved to the US and had successful stage careers there.[4]
