Production
Alf Linley offered Franklyn Barrett finance to produce a boxing picture. Barrett organized two boxers to stage a three one minute round boxing match on the back lawn of the Hotel Cecil. Although Macgregor was to give a knockout blow on cue in the third round, Mace who was deaf, had misunderstood the arrangement and actually knocked out Macgregor. The resultant film did very good business when subsequently shown in the Federal Hall theatre in Manners Street Wellington. Preservation status
This 1901 film was New Zealand's first boxing film and is now a lost film. References
