Интересные факты

Captain Thunderbolt is a 1952 Australian action film from director Cecil Holmes about the bushranger Captain Thunderbolt. It was one of the few all-Australian films of the 1950s.

Production

The budget was provided entirely by the son of theatrical entrepreneur Sir Benjamin Fuller.

It was a return to leading man roles for Grant Taylor.

Holmes scouted locations around Armidale in late January 1951.

The movie was shot in early 1951 on location in New England, New South Wales, and at the Royal National Park in Sydney, with studio work done in Supreme Sound System in North Sydney. The woolshed dance sequence was shot at a Pyrmont woolstore. One of Thunderbolt's robbery victims was played by Kathleen Drummond, daughter of the then-local MP David Drummond.

Filming started near Armidale on 5 March for ten days then the unit moved to Uralla. Taylor was accompanied by his wife during filming.
