[2][3][4] Mary Mallon formed her own company, Australian National Films, in April 1924 and spent less than £1,000 to make the movie.

"[15] Some screenings were accompanied by Dunstan Webb, who said he would talk to any members of the audience interested in appearing in future films made by the company.

[16] A critic from Everyones called it "a creditable story, ably retold by an efficient producer and a clever company of actors, most of them screen tyros, but, under capable direction, doing exceptionally good work.

The critic did add "the tale is excellently told, and the many masterly touches of realism, so naturally transferred to the screen, are a credit to the producer.

[1] Mallon later claimed two cast members of The Price, Phyllis du Barry and Lucille Lisle, found success in the USA.
