"Sons of Matthew" is a 1949 Australian film directed by Charles Chauvel. The film was shot in 1947 on location in Queensland, Australia and the studio sequences in Sydney. Filming took 18 months to complete, but it was a great success with Australian audiences when it finally opened in December 1949. "Sons of Matthew" is a legendary film in the history of Australian cinema, partly because of the adverse conditions in which it was made. Maxwell Dunn wrote later in his book "How They Made Sons of Matthew" that, during filming, it was the wettest season in 80 years in Queensland. For UK and US release Universal-International cut the film by 30 minutes, added some American narration and renamed it "The Rugged O'Riordans".

Book - How they made Sons of Matthew by Maxwell Dunn 1949

My aunt is Laurel Young who played Bessie Benson the romantic interest of Luke O'Riordan in the movie.

I have just received from her this fantastic book with full page photo plates on the making of this movie.

A must for film buffs interested on early Australian Film.

Laurel was noticed by Charles Chauvel when she was the front cover of a Womens Magazine as Teenager of the Month in November 1946.

She was later Miss Elegance with TC Burnes in Brisbane. She also was one of Australia's first Talk show hostesses. Thursday at One was put to air in 1958,59,60 on GTV9 Melbourne. She found being the host too intense and so became co host with a lot of different men including Bert Newton in 1959.
