Reception
[ edit ]
The London Times praised "the style of production" by director Morahan "with its powerful claustrophobic use of close up and crowded medium shot to convey something of the atmosphere of an Australian convict colony in the 1840s". The critic felt the play "was not, perhaps, always quite so good as it looked, it was interesting enough - for its documentary value if no other."[4]
1961 US television version
[ edit ]
The episode was filmed in the US as part of the US Steel Hour .[5] [6]
