Series includes material related to Now That April’s Here, a 1958 Canadian feature-film directed by William Davidson (later producer of Adventures in Rainbow Country and Matt & Jenny). The project was an early attempt to start a feature-film industry in Toronto independent of the CBC and NFB. Based on work by Morley Callaghan, shot on the streets of Toronto, and narrated by Raymond Massey. Criticized in Variety for its “amateur acting standards and limited prospect,” the film was a financial failure.
