Two errors in Canadianisms: 1. Judges were (and still often are) addressed as "Your Worship" and not "Your Honour". 2. One cannot become Ambassador to the Bahamas if one comes from another Commonwealth Realm, like Canada. Canada would have had a High Commissioner in the Bahamas at the time. Presently, for budgetary and other reasons, it only has a Consulate, managed via Canada's Jamaican High Commission.

Dr. Milton Wakefield: [pulls boot from King's grasp] Mr. King, you intend to fornicate with this garment?
Mackenzie King: No, I don't.
Dr. Milton Wakefield: Look me in the eye.
Mackenzie King: There's been a shortage of ladies' footwear at the Daughters of the Empire's temperance league, and I was asked...
Dr. Milton Wakefield: [slaps King with boot] You're a disgusting backslider.

You might hate it, you might hate the main character, but give give it a shot.

Some people don't understand that the cinematography of this movie is based on German Expressionism. Just for this, this movie is already worth a watch. You'll see triangular shapes standing for mountains, cubes for buildings, with neons lights and triangular shaped windows. A visual phantasmagoria.

The satire of Canadian politics depicts a much wider and darker world that is to come. Idealisms in the form of evolutionary humanism (Nazism) and egalitarian humanism (Communism), would rise to nearly to dominate the world and fall.

Characters might be extravagant, and at some points you might find them disgusting, but don't let that ruin the experience of a neon filled expressionist decorum à la Fritz Lang with some Monthy Pythonesque references and its eclectic soundtrack of a world that was about to experiment all of this. Can you imagine the excitement if you would have been living back then (1899) and the terror and disappointment of knowing what was to come?

An experiment in fusion of ideas with a quite unique outcome.
