The Crime and the Criminal is a 1912 Australian silent film directed by Alfred Rolfe. It features the same railway collision as the climax in Do Men Love Women? (1912) which had come out only a few weeks prior. However the plots of the movies are different.[4][5]
The film was set in Sydney and the Kimberley.[6]
According to the Sydney Truth the film "deals with an intensely thrilling story, pictured with true melodramatic emphasis. Local coloring is faithfully introduced, and % big sensation is provided in a realistic railway smash. The jealous hatred of the unscrupulous criminal for bis successful brother provides a strong plot."[8]
