The Romance of Runnibede

The Romance of Runnibede is a 1928 Australian silent film based on an incident in a book by Steele Rudd. Unlike many Australian silent movies, a copy of it exists today.

A company was formed to make the film, Phillips Films Productions Ltd, with capital of 100,000. The prime mover behind it was American businessman Frederick Phillips, who succeeded raising the money when the industry was excited about the success of For the Term of His Natural Life 1927. Investors in the company included Steele Rudd and William Reed, Eva Novaks husband.Several people were imported from America, including the director, Scott Dunlap, and star, Eva Novak. Dunlaps arrival was delayed so initial work was directed by William Reed. He received advice from Wallace Worsley, an American director visiting Australia at the time. ........
