The Stuntmen
The Stuntmen is a one-hour documentary for Australian TV written and directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith.
It won Best Documentary at the 1973 Australian Film Awards.
It was through this film that Trenchard-Smith met Grant Page, who he put under a five-year contract and featured in a number of films. The film also acted as a "calling card" which enabled the director to get finance for "The Man from Hong Kong" (1975).
Canutt's second son, was born in January 1937. Joe and Tap would later get work as stuntmen with their father.
In 1938, Republic Pictures started expanding into bigger pictures and budgets. Canutt's mentor and action director for the 1925 "", Breezy Eason was hired as second unit director, and Canutt to coordinate and ramrod the stunts. For Canutt, this meant not only hiring stuntmen and doing some stunts himself, but also laying out the action for the director and writing additional stunts.
