Interesting facts

When the Kellys Rode is a 1934 Australian film directed by Harry Southwell about Ned Kelly.

Production

The film was produced by Imperial Films which was incorporated in 1933 with a capital of £20,000.

Southwell had planned to call the film The Kelly Gang, but the Commonwealth censor objected to the use of the word gang in the title.

It was filmed on location in the Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains and in Cinesound's Studio at Rushcutter's Bay. Southwell hired a crew from Cinesound Productions.

The film is considered to be first adaptation of the Kelly story with sound.
