Production
The film was made in the wake of a successful Australian season of Joseph Jefferson and Dion Boucicault's theatre adaptation of Washington Irving's story.
One reviewer said that star Arthur Styan "has figured in several of the previous productions of the Amalgamated Pictures Ltd., and who makes quite a success of this."
Reception
The film appears not to have been widely released. The Bendigo Advertiser said that "the famous story is most effectively explained in the picture production."
