Review of The Story of the Kelly Gang

There is no evidence that this movie has any artistic value. We have the opinion of the respected pioneer director of the classic "The Sentimental Bloke" who saw the movie at its first screenings. He declared that later Australian silent movies were of much greater quality.The Kelly Gang were terrorists and their acts of violence and murder are to be condemned. Thus the sensational nature of the the subject matter attracted large audiences to this movie and made much money for the the astute businessmen who financed it. It is impossible to prove any claims that it is a "first feature film " which is thankful because it is likely to be the first trash feature movie
