Rediscovering Captain Thunderbolt webinar - Michael Organ
About
Captain Thunderbolt is an Australian bushranger film produced by Associated Television Pty Ltd (ATV) of Sydney during 1951. It was released locally in Australia during 1955 and internationally in New Zealand and Great Britain between 1956-60, both in the cinema and on television. This was Australia's first dual made-for-cinema (69 minute running time) and made-for-television (53 minute running time) release film. Captain Thunderbolt featured noted actors Grant Taylor and Charles "Bud" Tingwell, Loretta Boutmy and Rosemary Miller, though the latter two were largely excised from the television edit. The film has been praised for the innovative cinematography of Ross Wood, expert editing by the English Margaret Cardin, and a lively script by Sydney radio playwright Creswick Jenkinson. It received a Special Commendation in the Jubilee Film Competition announced at the Olinda Film Festival in Victoria at the end of January 1952, and was premiered at the 7th Karlovy Vary International FilmDate
