-Based on the one-act play ''[[In die Wagkamer]]'' by [[J.F.W. Grosskopf]], this film by [[Joseph Albrecht]] has the distinction of being the first production shot with [[Afrikaans]] dialogue and despite being handicapped by its stage origins, is undeniably a milestone in the history of the South African cinema.  Interestingly, a surviving production still shows the shooting title to have been "Little Mother", possibly because no-one behind the camera was Afrikaans-speaking.  It took about a month to shoot and was shown to members of the [[Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Taal, Lettere en Kuns]] on 11 September 1931.

 Based on the one-act play [[In die Wagkamer]] by [[J.F.W.
