Mad Dog Morgan: An Unjustly Dismissed Bushranger Classic

On 27 October 1975, Phillipe Mora who had had recent international success with his two compilation documentaries, Swastika and Brother Can You Spare a Dime, began to film his first feature length dramatic film, Mad Dog Morgan, based on the life of the bushranger and outlaw Daniel 'Mad Dan' or 'Black Dan' Morgan. Ramsland reveals that 'Mora's film is not a simple action-adventure, but realistically recreates the social conditions of frontier culture.'
