Double Trouble is a docu-drama directed by Lee Robinson about two Australian men intolerant of foreign migrants who find themselves transported to a foreign country.[1]
Unlike most movies from the Australian National Film Board it used professional actors, and gave Lee Robinson invaluable experience directing them prior to his first feature, The Phantom Stockman (1953).[2]
The film has since come to be regarded as historically significant because of its depiction of attitudes towards Australian immigration at the time.[3]
Robinson and editor Inman Hunter later wrote a story for a drama film together which became The Siege of Pinchgut (1959).[4]
