It centres on the rural family, the Hayseeds, about whom Smith had previously made six silent films, starting with Our Friends, the Hayseeds (1917). He retired from directing in 1925 but decided to revive the series in the wake of the box office success of On Our Selection (1932). It was the first starring role in a movie for stage actor Cecil Kellaway. It was also known as The Hayseeds Come to Town. PlotWealthy Mary Townleigh gets lost in the bush and hurts her ankle, but is rescued and stays with the Hayseed family. She starts a romance with their neighbour, Englishman John Manners. When Joe Hayseed and his girlfriend Pansy Regan decide to get married, the Hayseeds and John visit Sydney to stay with the Townleighs. John is accused of being a fugitive of justice but is eventually proved innocent and he and Mary get married.[8] Cast
ProductionThe movie was shot at Cinesound's studios in Rushcutter's Bay in August and September 1933, with location work near Pymble. Many of the cast, including Kellaway, John Moore and Shirley Dale, were appearing in the play Music in the Air during filming.[9] The movie was a semi musical with a number of songs and dance sequences. The latter were produced by Richard White, who ran a dance academy in Sydney.[10] Cecil Kellaway's son, Brian, made his film debut alongside his father.[11] DirectorThere is some debate as to the true director of the film. While some sources say that Beaumont Smith both scripted and directed the picture, Smith himself announced that Raymond Longford would direct the picture,[12] and newspapers of the era also gave the credit to Longford. ReceptionReviews for the film were mixed[13][14] but it proved popular with audiences on release. By the end of 1934 it was estimated to have earned £16,000 in Australia and an overall profit of £5,900.[15][5] The film was still screening in cinemas in 1950.[16] References1. ^"Raymond Longford", Cinema Papers, January 1974 p51 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article83032465 |title=BEAUMONT SMITH BEGINS WORK ON TALKING PICTURE. |newspaper=Il Giornale Italiano |location=Sydney |date=6 September 1933 |accessdate=31 May 2012 |page=5 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^Ross Cooper,"Filmography: Beaumont Smith", Cinema Papers, March–April 1976 p333 4. ^Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production, Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, 164. 5. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article128482273 |title=Film Industry In Australia. |newspaper=The News |location=Adelaide |date=11 June 1935 |accessdate=17 March 2015 |page=4 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^1 {{Citation | | title=Everyones | publication-date=1920 | publisher=Everyones Ltd | url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-575141282 | accessdate=29 March 2019}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17166044 |title=Advertising. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=16 April 1935 |accessdate=25 July 2012 |page=10 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article32937536 |title=PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE. |newspaper=The West Australian |location=Perth |date=23 June 1934 |accessdate=31 May 2012 |page=13 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17004727 |title="THE HAYSEEDS.". |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=6 September 1933 |accessdate=29 January 2012 |page=8 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 10. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16993150 |title=Advertising. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=22 July 1933 |accessdate=29 January 2012 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 11. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article41545986 |title=Edmonton Regent Theatre. |newspaper=The Cairns Post |location=Qld. |date=27 February 1935 |accessdate=31 May 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 12. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16993341 |title=AUSTRALIAN FILM. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=22 July 1933 |accessdate=28 January 2012 |page=8 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 13. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17031487 |title=FILM REVIEWS. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=11 December 1933 |accessdate=31 May 2012 |page=5 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 14. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article53243911 |title=PRIVATE VIEWS. |newspaper=The Australian Women's Weekly | date=16 December 1933 |accessdate=31 May 2012 |page=26 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 15. ^1 "Counting the Cash in Australian Films"', Everyones 12 December 1934 p 19-20 16. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article42674298 |title=Palace Theatre. |newspaper=The Cairns Post |location=Qld. |date=11 July 1950 |accessdate=31 May 2012 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} External links
