Filming took place at Old Melbourne Gaol Magistrate's Court and at Gembrook, Victoria, which stood in for Singybark Creek. Roger Simpson wrote it in collaboration with Dr Robson, a lecturer in history at Melbourne University. The original chair and canopy used by Judge Barry was used.[4]
Reception
The Age praised "another fine performance from Waters".[5]
Another writer from the same paper thought the production was not as good as the script.[6]
The Sydney Sun Herald said "it fails to keep its dramatic promise" mostly because of the device of using Alan Hopgood as a narrator who would appear in the action.[7]
