1 form y separately published work icon Our Girl Friday Adventures of Sadie Noel Langley , ( dir. Noel Langley ) United Kingdom (UK) : Renown Film Productions , 1954 Z1209225 1954 single work film/TV

After a fog-bound collision at sea, four shipwrecked cruise survivors are marooned on a desert island: millionaire's daughter Sadie Patch, cynical journalist Jimmy Carrol, old-fashioned economics lecturer Professor Gibble, and the ship's stoker Pat Plunkett. Although the three men reach agreement that none shall become romantically involved with their lone female companion, Jimmy and the Professor endeavour to woo her. But Sadie only has eyes for Pat, the hard-drinking Irishman. However, her affection isn't reciprocated. After they are eventually rescued by a passing ship, Sadie wishes to marry Pat, but he refuses. After another shipwreck, Sadie is washed back up on the same island, and to her delight, so is Pat!

1 1 form y separately published work icon Gone to the Dogs George Wallace , Frank Harvey , ( dir. Ken G. Hall ) 1939 Sydney : Cinesound Productions , Z1571446 1939 single work film/TV humour fantasy When George, a disaster-prone zoo attendant, accidentally discovers a substance that accelerates motion, he tests it on a prize-winning greyhound. The dog is subsequently able to run even faster. A gang of villains kidnap the dog and attempt to substitute it in a big race. Not only do George and his friends eventually foil their plan, but their own dog also wins the race. The Brisbane Courier's film critic records that 'Gone To The Dogs is a farce and it is funny...it is probably the most laughable film that Australian studios have produced. The film makes no pretensions to sophistication or depth. It is clowning plus clowning plus clowning, but it is good clowning'. (21 August 1939, p. 4)
