ProductionThe film was the first from Argosy Films and was made with the assistance of a bank overdraft from the New South Wales government. It was directed by Clarence Badger, a Hollywood director who had retired to Australia. The original title was Daughters of Australia.[4] Megan Edwards had only appeared in a few stage shows before being cast in the lead.[5][6] She later received a three-year contract from a Hollywood manager.[7] The seven-week shoot took place at Pagewood Studios, the first movie made there in three years. The colonial sequence was especially researched.[8] The camera crew included notable cameraman John Howes, who died aged 29.[9] ReleaseDespite securing distribution from RKO, reception to the film from critics and the public was poor.[10] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17717575 |title=R.K.O.
