Curiosità

The Bushwhackers is a 1925 Australian silent film directed by Raymond Longford loosely based on Alfred Tennyson's 1864 poem Enoch Arden. It is considered a lost film.

Production

Actor Rawdon Blandford wrote a song especially for the film. He later described this and other Australian films he made as "not great efforts" and criticised the quality of Australian directors.

Co-star Eddie O'Reilly (real name Edgar Girard) was a sometime boxer. He later worked as a helper at the Sydney Cricket Ground. In 1926 he was arrested for having sex with a seventeen year old girl despite being married with a child. However it was decided not to go to trial.

Australasian Films bought the film outright from Longford and Lyell for its production cost.
