Does Dan Die? The Ned Kelly Films and the Question of the Fate of Dan Kelly and Steve Hart at Glenrowan

In his article, 'Ghosts of Glenrowan', in this issue, Rodney Noonan draws attention to the 1951 film, The Glenrowan Affair and its suggestion that Dan Kelly had escaped from the shoot-out at Glenrowan. But what of other Kelly films? I propose to examine these, and the one major television incursion into the area, in terms of what their narratives (and their expression of those narratives) may indicate about the issue of whether Dan Kelly (in particular) and Steve Hart survived Glenrowan.
