Lola and the Highwayman is a 1965 Australian TV special. It consisted of selected songs from the Australian stage musicals Lola Montez and The Highwayman and combined them to tell a short thirty minute story. The special is the only known visual record of either musical to survive. (A 1962 version of Lola Montez was filmed but does not survive.)[4]
Fred Maxian, who directed the special, said "some of the melodies from these musicals are among the best in the world." Songs selected from the musical were interwoven in a story to give it continuity.[5]
Eleven songs were used in all.[3] An extract from the production is at the State Library of New South Wales.[6]
