The Man Who Forgot is a 1927 silent Australian feature film which marked the directorial debut of A. R. Harwood. It is considered a lost film.
Production
[edit]Little is known about the movie apart from the fact it was a low-budget melodrama shot outdoors to save on studio costs. The story included scenes at the Ascot racecourse in Melbourne, a fight on the brink of the Werribee Gorge, timber felling in the Dandenong Rangers, and an escape by the hero in an aeroplane at the Essendon Aerodrome.[1]
Release
[edit]Harwood distributed the film himself in partnership with his leading actors Nicholls and Hallam. They showed it on a double bill with Jewelled Nights (1925) around rural Victoria. Harwood, Nicholls and Hallam then announced plans to make a second feature together, a farce called Struth, but the project was abandoned and Harwood spent the next few years in distribution.[1]
