A bit too much yelling, but...

This is an interesting and well done piece of Canadiana and proof that we can make good pictures now and then. Well acted, well directed and well shot with none of the pretentious BS that marks so many Canadian flicks. There is a little too much shouting and confrontation at times.A few of the props are wrong (viz. models of typewriters and press cameras that didn't exist in the mid thirties.) But I find bitter irony in the fact that (for the second time) a film about Toronto was shot in Montreal when Toronto continues to serve as a surrogate for every place but itself.
