AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Having previously collaborated on twelve low-budget (short and feature) films together, by 1917 Raymond Longford and Lottie Lyell were now wanting to work on larger scale feature productions. Support for this ambition came from Adelaide’s newly formed Southern Cross Feature Film Company, with their own aspiration to produce five dramas and three comedies within the first 12 months. The first of these productions would be The Woman Suffers (1918), and Southern Cross would continue to produce Longford’s great run of feature productions with Lyell including The Sentimental Bloke (1919), Ginger Mick (1920), On Our Selection (1920), Rudd’s New Selection (1921) and The Blue Mountains Mystery (1921), until 1923 when Longford and Lyell broke ties to form their own company, Longford-Lyell Australian Productions.' (Introduction)
