Cast
Production
A. Sculthorpe, who worked on the movie, remembers the film as being "a little starved because of the promoters lack of finance" but said it "compared favourably with the Importations of the time." He also recalled shooting a sequence involving a brawl in Swanston Street which resulted in police trying to arrest the actors.[4]
Reception
According to Sculthorpe "it was a good picture but the exhibitors gave us little encouragement."[4]
gollark: Yes, unfortunately my attempt at stealing the bots here failed since they are not set as public.
gollark: Maybe you can steal just the markdown parser and tack a simple markdown AST to HTML backend on.
gollark: pulldown-cmark (Rust CommonMark parser) contains 3000 lines of parsing code, although it does have to care about low level details and does some SIMD magic for performance.
gollark: Standards compliant markdown parsing is very hard.
gollark: Neat, my site has 86 XHTML errors.
