Stingaree is a 1905 novel by E. W. Hornung about an Australian bushranger.[1][2] It was allegedly based on the Kelly Gang.[3]
Adaptations
Play
The story was turned into a 1908 play by Hornung.[4] This was not a success[5]
Films
A number of films were based on the book:
- Stingaree (1915) – serial
- The Further Adventures of Stingaree (1917) – serial
- Stingaree (1934) – film
In 1948 it was announced that Argosy Films would make a film based on the character based on a script by Cyril Hume - John Ford to direct Ben Johnson in the lead - but no film resulted.[6][7][8] Andre de Doth visited Australia with a view to making the film but this did not happen either.[9]
