Robbery Under Arms (1907 film)

Robbery Under Arms is a 1907 Australian silent film based on the novel by Rolf Boldrewood about two brothers and their relationship with the bushranger Captain Starlight. It was the first film version of the novel and the third Australian feature ever made.

Key scenes of the film included the branding of the stolen cattle by the Marstons, the stealing of the horse Marquis of Lorne, the capture of Starlight and Dick Marston, the robbery of the mail coach, the bail up of the gold escort, the sticking up of Whitmans, the attack on Keightley station, the ride of Mrs Keightley to raise the ransom, the escape from Berrima Gaol and Starlights last stand.Charles MacMahon made the movie after working for five years in New Zealand. It seems likely that the script was taken directly from the novel, and not any stage adaptation of the book which was the case with the 1911 version, Captain Starlight, or Gentleman of the Road. ........
