Ben Hall 1975/ 2016


Hopefully this will be a worthy project. The Ben Hall legend has always been far more interesting than the melodramatic retellings of the Ned Kelly story.
My only hope is that someone is wise enough at the ABC/BBC to dig into the vaults and commit the 1975 series, with the amazing Jon Finch in the lead role, to DVD. 41 years on, it remains an impressive memory with historical details that would put many current dramas to shame.

From the episode I've seen (Number 1), The series looked very promising indeed. I only wish the original had a DVD release. AS you mention, this film will hopefully make that happen. Looking forward to watching this.
