Daniel Reynaud National Versions of the Great War: Modern Australian Anzac Cinema 1 The Anzac Legend as National Narrative While many nations generated myths of loss and tragedy from the Great War, Australia has forged a positive myth of identity, built on the national narrative of the Anzac legend which encapsulates what it means to be truly Australian (cf. Seal 6–9). The Anzac story has become seminal to the Australian identity since the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Images of War in Australian Screen Drama Abstract In common with many cultures, Australia has accorded warlike exploits privileged status among its national mythologies: military events in its history - as regrettable as the genocidal conflicts with its indigenous peoples - have a high and positive profile in the national consciousness. This is understandable in the light of the fact that the (relatively) young social democracy has been involved in five wars this century, for a total of over twenty years between 1900 and 1972: one indication of the significant part played by war in the experience of many Australians. However, the elevation of war to the mythic status it achieved entailed the interplay of more complex and subtle factors than such simple accounting suggests. The process begins with the institutionalisation of a natural if not entirely laudable pride in feats of arms (by ceremonial observance of the 'sacrifice' of the 'fallen', by the transformation of the 'facts' of military events into legend, etc.) and develops quickly to the point at which assertions of patriotism and national status are expressed frequently in terms of military prowess.

  • Diggers in Blighty
    DIGGERS IN BLIGHTY Year of release: 1933 • Screenplay: Pat Hanna, Ed Warrington, Wilfred King and Bert Reid Lanky and phlegmatic Chic Williams (Pat Hanna) and his short and resourceful friend Joe Mulga (George Moon) face ten days in the stockade for absconding with five jars of rum from the Quartermaster's stores. At the same time, a British intelligence officer, Sir Guy Gough, is seeking to outwit a German spy ring, run by Von Schieling and a French adventuress. Chic and Joe, Corporal Joe McTavish, and Captain Jack Fisher help trap the spies and gain invaluable information. They are rewarded with ten days' leave in London, where Captain Fisher has a romantic involvement with a young woman named Alison. Having made the decision to never again work with F.W. Thring in the aftermath of the producer's decision to reorder the sequence of scenes in Diggers (1931), Pat Hanna formed his own production company. He nevertheless took advantage of Thring's absence from Australia in 19321 to utilise Efftee Film Productions' Melbourne production facilities for the making of this sequel. One interesting production decision was to shoot the French chateau exterior scenes at the Old Melbourne Gaol. Filming began in early October 1932 and took about six weeks. Although Hanna had freed himself of Frank Thring's creative input, he again encountered difficulties, this time with associate director and actor Raymond Longford. According to Eric Reade, Longford failed to adapt to the new demands of the 'talkies', both in his acting and directing, and as a consequence imparted too much melodrama into the film.
