A Rough Passage is a 1922 Australian silent film directed by Franklyn Barrett based on the novel by Arthur Wright.

He also comes across a Shakesperean actor, Poverty Point (Arthur Albert), who becomes his friend, and the beautiful Doiya (Stella Southern), who he falls in love with.

"[9] Everyone's reported the film was being made in February 1922 saying "The story should make a very general appeal, as it is very bright and redolent of the soil.

[15] The movie was distributed by Barrett himself, due in part to his difficulties with the Australasian Films monopoly, and was not widely seen.

[16] Arthur Wright later said the film was: Produced and photographed excellently by Franklyn Barrett, but bringing little grist to the mill of movie ' picture production.

"[22] The Launceston Daily Telegraph said that "from the very first moment that the screen reflected the delightful panorama of our bush land I knew that here at last I had found a picture which, would prove worth while the time it had taken to produce.
