About
The company was registered in 1937 with capital of £50,000. The subscribers were Frederick Daniel, George B. Bennett, Ronald H. Wolff, Cecil V. Stevenson, Noel Monkman, Harold L. Gray, and Joseph A. Byron.[1] The general manager was Frederick Daniell.
In 1940 it was announced they would make two feature films,[2] with 60% of the cost to be guaranteed by the New South Wales government.[3] The two films were to be Daughters of Australia, budgeted at £12,500, and Man Without a Country, at a cost of £12,500 (these were later re-titled That Certain Something (1941) and The Power and the Glory (1941) respectively).[4]
Plans for further production – including a version of the Stingaree stories[5] – did not come to fruition and the company was liquidated in 1948.[6]
Argosy is not to be confused with the British film company of the same name.[7]
