A number of films were based on the book:
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.Andre de Doth visited Australia with a view to making the film but this did not happen either.
