Production

George Willoughby had toured with the play though Australia in 1911 and 1912 to great success.[4][5] Over 300 people were involved in making the movie.[6]

Fred Knowles was an English actor touring Australia. After making the film he enlisted in the AIF and was wounded in France in May 1917, losing an arm. However he managed to resume his career.[3]

Two other films were made from the same play, in 1916 and 1922 (as The Law and the Woman).

Release

The movie was trade screened in May 1916.[7]

Willoughby later revived the play in 1927.[8]

It was announced that the Willoughby Company were then to make The Pearl of the Pacific based on a story by Randolph Bedford, but this film appears to have never been made.[9]
