Ginger Mick

[5] E. J. Carroll wanted a sequel to The Sentimental Bloke so Longford came up with the idea of combining two poems by C. J. Dennis, The Moods of Ginger Mick and Doreen.

[8] According to a later account in Everyone's there was a humorous incident during filming "the famous "duck and fowl" scene, in which Ginger wrecks the Chinese restaurant where the "straw-hat coot" is eating."

[10] The critic to The Sydney Morning Herald said that: The selection of types, incidents and environment... has been highly intelligent; so that one gets not only a complete idea of the author's story, but apt material presentments of the sort of people of whom Mr. Dennis writes, besides glimpses of the rough haunts and byways where the "fraternity" flourish.

Mr. Gilbert W. Emery, who is cast as "Ginger Mick", has quite obviously made a painstaking study of his part, and has succeeded in embodying as many of the bizarre indigenous elements peculiar to that uncommon Australian city type.

"[11]Table Talk called the film: A triumph in the art of natural production, and promises to make an even greater appeal to picture-goers than its famous predecessor.

Apart from the natural acting of Gilbert Warren-Emery... there are several unrehearsed incidents in the film, one being a "dinkum scrap" between two kiddies who were striving for front places during the taking of a street scene.
