- QuotesNed Kelly and His Gang was made in 1906, only three years after The Great Train Robbery. It was banned by Victorian-era censors for its 'romantic' portrayal of bushrangers, who might otherwise have become folk heroes and inspired class war. The western wasn't allowed to grow into a real genre in Australian cinema, although colonial-period dramas started re-surfacing in the '70s.
- TrademarksFrequently casts Guy Pearce
