. . Man-Eater. "Australia Today" newsreels made by Enterprise Film Co 1939. Directed by Rupert Kathner. This newsreel looks at the 'silent terrors of the deep' - sharks. It begins on the beautiful beaches of Sydney, makes its way through the murky waters of the Georges River where terror strikes, travels out to sea with the fisheries on a hunt for the shark and concludes in Chinatown at the Shanghai Cafe. As the Australian summer commences there have already been catches of large sharks off the Sydney beaches which are, as always, accompanied by sensationalist media reports. This 1939 film shows that this is a often told story and while not without some basis in fact, as the film itself states, the chances of a shark attack are extremely low and it is much more likely that sharks will end up on our plate rather than we will on theirs.
