Ned Kelly (1970 movie)

Ned Kelly is the title of a 1970 movie. It was the second Australian feature film version of the story of 19th century Australian bushranger Ned Kelly.

The film was directed by Tony Richardson and starred Mick Jagger in the title role and Scottish-born actor Mark McManus as Joe Byrne. It was a British production, but was filmed entirely in Australia, and shot mostly around Braidwood in southern New South Wales, with a largely Australian supporting cast.

The making of the film was dogged by problems. Even before production began, decendants of Ned Kelly and Actors' Equity protested strongly about the casting of Jagger in the lead role, and about the film's proposed shooting location in country NSW, rather than in Victoria, where the Kellys had lived.

Jagger's girlfriend of the time, Marianne Faithfull was slated to play the lead female role (Ned's sister, Maggie), but their relationship was breaking up and she took an overdose of sleeping tablets soon after arrival in Sydney. She was hospitalised in a coma but recovered and was sent home. She was replaced by a then-unknown Australian actress, Diane Craig . During production Jagger was slightly injured by a pistol.

The film was very poorly received at the time, is still regarded as one of Richardson least successful efforts, and was effectively disowned by both Richardson and Jagger, neither of whom attended the London premiere.
