Production

E. J. Carroll wanted a sequel to The Sentimental Bloke so Longford came up with the idea of combining two poems by C. J. Dennis, The Moods of Ginger Mick and Doreen.

In August 1919 it was announced Dennis had given permission to make a sequrl.

According to a later account in Everyone's there was a humorous incident during filming "the famous "duck and fowl" scene, in which Ginger wrecks the Chinese restaurant where the "straw-hat coot" is eating." The article described:

At nine o’clock about two dozen Chinese arrived, accompanied by half a dozen real policemen off duty—the latter counterfieiting the real thing in the film. Every thing was ready when "props" discovered that he had forgotten the ducks. A halt was called, while messenges scoured the city for ducks—not an easy, job on a Saturday, with the markets closed. The problem was what to do with the "Chows" in the interim.
