| Synopsis |
Describes the film as a compromise between an expression of Australia and a standardised Hollywood model, critical of obvious references to indigineous fauna and flora. The plot is spoken of as weak, undermining the actors' potential. This is described as a typically Australian weakness: "Thoroughbred displays the malady in an acute form". Twelvetrees' performance is described as "suave, crisp, competant" and attributed as characteristic of her Hollywood career.
