The Shadow of Lightning Ridge

The Shadow of Lightning Ridge is a 1920 Australian silent film starring renowned Australian sportsman Snowy Baker. It is now considered a lost film.

The script was clearly inspired by Zorro, which Bess Meredyth later adapted in The Mark of Zorro 1940. After reading the script and seeing the stunts he was required to perform, Baker reportedly went out and insured himself for 5,000.Shooting took place in early 1920 in the bush near Sydney and a studio built by E.J. Carroll at Palmerston near Waverly. A highlight of the film was Snowy Baker on horseback jumpingmetres off a cliff. ........
