'A wife with a torturing toothache and an apparently faithless husband supply the motive for the Australian comedy, "An Interrupted Divorce".'

Notes

  • Directed by John Gavin from a scenario written by his wife, Agnes, An Interrupted Divorce was filmed in mid-1916. A shortage of available film stock meant that its release was delayed by almost a year, however. Although it starred popular vaudeville comedian Fred Bluett and emerging dramatic actress Vera Remee, the film’s exhibition was largely confined to suburban and regional theatres. Scenes of the Sydney CBD and the inclusion of the chorus girls from Sydney’s Palladium Theatre were said to be additional highlights.
