Deadly Earnest - Ralph Baker (ATV-O, Melbourne)

Description

Add &fmt=18 to the URL for the slightly more watchable version... Hyper-rare footage of Melbourne's version of Deadly Earnest, played by Ralph Baker (who kindly supplied me with this clip about twelve years ago). This murky kinescope with dodgy sound is one of the two known surviving pieces of original footage of the Melbourne Deadly. Also got original footage of Ian Bannerman, the original Deadly, from Sydney - will post it when I find it...
