Raymond Longford was held in extremely high esteem both by his compatriots and his peers in Britain (probably on account of his English heritage.)
AUSTRALIA CALLS, segments of which still exist and which I recall seeing many years ago on a television program chronicling the rise of early Aussie film, was in fact selected for showing at the Australian Pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition in London in 1924.
This simplistic docudrama concerned itself with the life and times of one Ernest Idiens, a "New Australian" farmer in New South Wales. The film showed Ernest in his daily tasks as he went about his livelihood in a new country.
Part of Aussie film ancestry now.
