Curiosidades

£500 Reward is a 1918 Australian silent film starring, written, produced, financed and directed by Claude Flemming who later described it as "a very lurid melodrama".

Production

The film was written, produced, directed and financed by Claude Flemming. It was reported to be the first feature film to include footage of Mount Kosciuszko, which stood in for Canada. Scenes were also shot at Bermagui, on board an American sailing ship visiting Sydney, and at Rushcutters Bay studio.

The cast included Renée Adorée, who was then a dancer touring Australia on the Tivoli circuit with an act called "The Magneys", and subsequently went on to star in The Big Parade (1925).

John Faulkner and Claude Flemming reputedly clashed during the film over interpretation.
