}}On the Friendly Road is a 1936 film from New Zealand which told a story of New Zealand in the depression.[1][2]

It is one of four films made in 1935 (with The Devil's Pit, Down on the Farm, and Hei Tiki) which lay claim to be the first "New Zealand talkie", although dubiously, as the film was not released until 1936.

Plot

The plot involves Mac McDermitt who is wrongly accused of theft and imprisoned, but is finally vindicated and cleared. The crusading Rev Colin Scrimgeour also starred. Sam Edwards said it has one-dimensional characters so is melodramatic, and "has not improved with age".

Cast

John Emmett Michael Mackle as Mac McDermitt
