It was directed by and starred American magician John Calvert. Although over £27,000 was spent on the movie it was never released and there is some doubt if it was ever completed.[1] BackgroundCalvert had visited Australia several times with his stage act, often announcing film projects. In 1950 he said he wanted to make four features there[2] including one about Burke and Wills, but then he decided that was too dull a subject matter.[3][4] He tried to get up another movie called Strange Horizons which he intended to make in Mackay[5][6] but he was unable to get approval from Actors Equity to import the personnel he wanted.[7][8] Calvert was frequently involved in legal disputes while in Australia.[9][10] Port of EscapeThe film co-starred dancer Pilita Corrales who Calvert brought out to Australia with him in 1959. Calvert persuaded investors from Tasmania to fund the film, but it was never released. Calvert fled Australia with creditors unpaid.[11] However Corrales stayed on in Australia and enjoyed a successful career there.[12] References1. ^Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production, Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, 208. {{ISBN|0-19-550784-3}} {{Australia-film-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article23015195 |title=ACTOR TO MAKE 4 FILMS HERE. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=14 December 1950 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article49737393 |title=Planning film. |newspaper=The Courier-Mail |location=Brisbane |date=3 August 1950 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article28670741 |title=MUSIC AND THE THEATRE. |newspaper=The Sunday Herald |location=Sydney |date=15 October 1950 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=8 Supplement: Sunday Herald Features |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article42681917 |title=MACKAY EXPECTED AS LOCATION. |newspaper=The Cairns Post |location=Qld. |date=12 December 1950 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article45733252 |title=They Came To Australia By Accident . |newspaper=The Advertiser |location=Adelaide |date=9 May 1951 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=11 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article57113129 |title=Mackay As Film Site Abandoned. |newspaper=The Morning Bulletin |location=Rockhampton, Qld. |date=9 July 1951 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article59593944 |title=Film Chance For Australia. |newspaper=The Sunday Times |location=Perth |date=12 November 1950 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=28 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article23257086 |title="The Falcon" sues night club man. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=21 July 1953 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=5 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 10. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article45710492 |title='JOEY' KANGAROOS CAUSE INTERSTATE CONFUSION. |newspaper=The Advertiser |location=Adelaide |date=6 July 1951 |accessdate=20 March 2012 |page=1 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}, 11. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=gkC-Eo7GsxMC&lpg=PA149&ots=n7YQ2ngMx4&dq=%22john%20calvert%22%20%22port%20of%20escape%22&pg=PA149#v=onepage&q=%22john%20calvert%22%20%22port%20of%20escape%22&f=false Eric Reade, History and heartburn: the saga of Australian film, 1896-1978 Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1979, p 149] 12. ^'Pilita Corrales' at Research on Performance and Desire 2 : 1960s unfinished films|Australian films |
