It Is Never Too Late to Mend

Based On the book by Charles Reade

It Is Never Too Late to Mend is a 1911 Australian feature-length silent film written and directed by W. J. Lincoln. It was based on a stage adaptation of the popular 1865 novel It Is Never Too Late to Mend: A Matter-of-Fact Romance by Charles Reade about the corrupt penal system in Australia. The movie was called "certainly one of the best pictures ever taken in Australia." The 1911 film is considered a lost film. The novel was filmed again in 1913 and in 1937 (the latter film being the definitive version starring Tod Slaughter as the evil squire).
