1 form y separately published work icon Seven Little Australians Patrick V. Ryan , ( dir. Arthur Greville Collins ) Australia : O. B. Pictures , 1939 Z972382 1939 single work film/TV

A feature film based on Ethel Turner's novel of the same name, Seven Little Australians celebrates the energetic, free-wheeling spirit of Australian youth. The storyline follows the escapades of the seven Woolcot children as they struggle to win the affections of their strict father while simultaneously attempting to exert their own independent identities.

In this 1939 cinematic adaptation, Captain Woolcot is portrayed as a harsher, less loving character rather than a father whose love for his family is being suppressed by his belief in discipline.
