The Hayseeds is a 1933 Australian comedy from director Beaumont Smith. It centres around the rural family, the Hayseeds, about whom Smith had previously made six silent films, starting with Our Friends, the Hayseeds (1917). He retired from directing in 1925 but decided to revive the series in the wake of the box office success of On Our Selection (1932). It was the first starring role in a movie for stage actor Cecil Kellaway. Raymond Longford worked as associate director.
