The film was originally made for export to England, to be used there by the British Ministry of Information as part of an intensive long term Empire publicity campaign. However, it was then decided to release the film in Australia as well.[1]
The film ended up being widely screened throughout Allied countries, including the UK and USA.[3][4][5][6]
It was critically praised, the Sydney Morning Herald writing that "there is inspiration as well as imagination and drama in this film."[7]
