The Sentimental Bloke (1932 film)

The Sentimental Bloke is a 1932 Australian film directed by F. W. Thring, an adaptation of Songs of a Sentimental Bloke by C. J. Dennis which had previously been filmed in 1919.

Dennis was hired to adapt his own story. Dialogue was rewritten by Dennis in prose and updated to the modern era. It placed greater emphasis on supporting characters than the 1919 film, adding a detective plot about Uncle Jim being conned over his discovery of gold in his orchard.The female lead, Ray Fisher, was signed by Thring to a fiveyear contract. She later married champion jockey Billy Cook. ........
