On Our Selection is a 1920 Australian silent film directed by Raymond Longford based on the Dad and Dave stories by Steele Rudd.
[4] He originally wanted American director Wilfred Lucas to make the film, but he refused as he felt the subject matter was too intrinsically Australian.
[5] Carroll did not have the rights to Bert Bailey's play adaptation of the stories, so the script comes directly from Steele Rudd's original works.
This means it does not feature additions made by the play, such subplots involving murder and a love triangle.
It is the little things that count, the little human touches that build up a big production, and to these I have driven the most thought... No stage atmosphere for me, nothing artificial I like realism, and I think I get it.
