The Grey Glove is a 1928 Australian silent film based on a newspaper serial by E. V. Timms.
An amateur detective, John Courtney, tries to catch a mysterious criminal who always leaves a grey glove behind. He tries to protect the mysterious Pauline Hemingway.
His fiancee Margaret becomes jealous and sets off to follow him dressed as a boy. [6] [7]
The film was shot at Australasian's Bondi studios. [9] It appears to have been shot prior to August 1926. [10] [11]
The film was the first screen appearance of Val Lassau who had been in the chorus of Rose Marie. [12]
It seems there was some extra filming after Christmas 1926. [13]
The Australasian called it "an intriguing tale, in which action and mystery arc pleasantly mingled. Fortunately Mr. Webb has aimed at a mark that is not beyond tbc reach of a producer who has not the elaborate equipment of a costly studio at his disposal, and he has achieved his aim. The acting by a large cast is aa least as good as that in any Australian film." [14]
