An article on the recent discovery by actor/writer/director Jon Fabian of previously missing footage from Roy Rene's 1934 film Strike Me Lucky (directed by Ken G. Hall). Fabian discovered the 26 minutes of film stock, which had been sitting in a Canberra repository for decades, while researching his biography of Rene. In the interview Fabian concludes: 'The possibility of seeing the film with Mo as Hall originally realised it is very, very exciting' (p18).
