Robbery Under Arms is a 1907 Australian film based on the popular novel. It was from the team of J and N Tait and Millard Johnson and W Gibson, who had just made The Story of the Kelly Gang.[3][4][5]
It is considered a lost film.
Another version of the book came out the same year, which was filmed in Sydney.[6][7][8]
This has led to some confusion as to whether the Tait-Johnson-Gibson film even existed.
