Captain Fury was a 1939 American adventure film set in colonial Australia directed by Hal Roach. It was one of Hollywood’s few attempts to depict Australian history, in this case its colourful bushranging history. Its stars, Brian Aherne and Victor McLaglen, had both toured Australia with stage shows and were anxious for the film to be as accurate as possible. Frank Baker, brother of Snowy Baker, acted as technical adviser and a few Australians were in the cast, including Billy Bevan and Frank Hagney.

Of CAPTAIN FURY, Brian Aherne wrote that “[it] seemed like such a farrago of nonsense to me that I was very happy to know that Juarez would rescue me by coming out at about the same time. Well, Juarez turned out to be a highly respected box-office flop while Captain Fury cleaned up and went on playing all over the world for many years with countless television runs.”
