'The Miner's Daughter' is a 1927 Australian silent film set in Sydney and Bendigo. Little is known about it and it is considered a lost film.

Production



It was directed by a Polish photographer, art director and film producer, Leon Forbert, who was visiting Australia in the late 1920s. The star was boxer Bert McCarthy, Australia's featherweight champion at the time. Finance was allegedly provided by members of Melbourne's Jewish community.

Release



A. R. Harwood distributed the movie but had little success.

Bert McCarthy died in 1931 after being knocked unconscious during a fight. Ten years previously boxer Denico Cabanella had died after a fight with McCarthy.
