George Cross said, “There’s this kid, who has been hanging around here”. He was a long, skinny, cadaverous looking country yokel.

Hall said, "when we begin work on the new film, I will have to be careful about green, because Bert Bailey has all the theatrical hatred of the colour. When we were producing the first of the Dad and Dave films. Dave wore a green vest, and Mr. Bailey blamed everything that went wrong on the set to that vest."
422:"I'm fully prepared for verbal onslaughts from a certain section of the public that considers we are ruining Australia's prestige overseas", said Hall before filming. "In fact, it's the English markets that vitally concern us. But as our pictures have been subjected to certain restrictions there, we have cut our cloth to suit our pocket.
