What's left behind the scenes

  • The plot was based on Margaret Carnegie's book "Morgan," which was the result of a twelve-year study.
  • Philippe Mora wrote the screenplay in 1974 during a sea voyage from London to Melbourne. The screenplay was submitted for consideration to the Australian Film Development Corporation, which in early 1975 agreed to support the project.
  • To find a candidate for the lead role, Mora and producer Jeremy Thomas went to Los Angeles. The first candidate, Stacey Keach, turned down the role; Martin Sheen and Jason Miller expressed interest, but ultimately, Dennis Hopper was chosen for the role of Morgan by Mora. His fee for the film was $50,000.
  • The film was shot at various locations where Daniel Morgan operated in eastern Riverina, including Billabong Creek, Culcairn, and Jindera. A cave used in the film was actually where Morgan had hidden.
  • Filming began on October 27, 1975, and lasted six weeks until December 6, for a total of 36 shooting days. Due to rain starting and continuing throughout the first week, filming had to be postponed, but it was then decided to continue in order to stay on schedule.
  • Morahan filmed a scene of young Ned Kelly looking at a wax figure of Morgan, but decided not to include it in the film.
  • The plot was based on Margaret Carnegie's book "Morgan," which was the result of twelve years of research.
