Production

Dennis was hired to adapt his own story. Dialogue was rewritten by Dennis in prose and updated to the modern era. It placed greater emphasis on supporting characters than the 1919 film, adding a detective plot about Uncle Jim being conned over his discovery of gold in his orchard.[5]

The female lead, Ray Fisher, was signed by Thring to a five-year contract.[6] She later married champion jockey Billy Cook.[7]

Raymond Longford later claimed he worked on the film as an associate.[8] According to Jack Murray, assistant to cinematographer Arthur Higgins, Thing was a director in name only and the real director was Higgins.[9] It was Efftee's most expensive film.[10]

Reception

The film ran for five weeks at a cinema in Melbourne.[11] Thring later estimated the film earned £2,000 at one theatre alone[12] and it was the third most popular Australian movie of the year after On Our Selection and The Squatter's Daughter.[3]

Variety called it 'undoubtedly the best Australian production yet made".[13]

Thring claimed in the long run he lost £5,000 on the movie due in part because of studio overhead.[2][4][14]

The film was released in England but received poor reviews.[15][16]
