What happens

Ballad for One Gun is a 1963 Australian television film about Ned Kelly broadcast on ABC. It was originally aired 17 July 1963 in Sydney and shown at later dates in other parts of Australia. It was written by Phillip Grenville Mann. The director Ray Menmuir called it "“definitely a new approach and a new treatment of the whole Ned Kelly legend." Australian drama was relatively rare on television at the time, although there had been a TV play called Ned Kelly (1959) produced. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
