Overview

Documentary, poetry and essay rolled into one, this compilation of stockshots and clips sourced from NFB productions of the '50s and '60s offers a singular lesson in Montreal history - its famous figures, symbolic places, and ordinary citizens. Without commentary, the film moves from the red light district to Jean Drapeau, the Jacques-Cartier market, department stores downtown, textile factories, and the construction of Place Ville-Marie. We meet Geneviรจve Bujold, Oscar Peterson, Monique Mercure, and Igor Stravinsky. We hear Raymond Lรฉvesque, Jean Drapeau, and Renรฉ Lecavalier.
