| Comments |
The documentary celebrates Australia's cinematic hertiage, and so lacks a certain degree of objectivity. In the case of 'Thorouhghbred', the documentary misleadingly implies that at that time in the industry, Australia was attracting Hollywood professionals. This is a glorification of Twelvetrees' status as a Hollywood figure and may as well have been taken straight out of a Cinesound press release. Far from being an exciting Hollywood celebrity, Twelvetrees was a B-Grade actress whose hey day existed in film's silent era. |

Includes brief footage of 'Thoroughbred'. The film is mainly spoken of in the context of Hall's development and increasing sophistication as a director. The depiction of Twelvetrees as import implies that Australia was attracting Hollywood professionals. |
