| This
50 minute film was made by the National Film Board of Canada, and is still
referenced on the website of the Public Health Agency of Canada as a
resource for children's social services. As a public services film,
you can imagine that it's big on worthiness and somewhat light on
entertainment value.
Here's the plot: Burdened with the weight of his responsibilities is Danny's case worker, a middle aged and bearded stereotype played by Gabriel Arcand (Denys' brother). The rest of the cast is equally uninspiring and/or respectable in appearance, apart from the spectacularly buff Roy Dupuis, playing Ricky, the fence, to whom Danny offloads his stolen gear. He appears in 3 scenes, each time with his drippy 'blonde' glued to his left elbow. If you
ever needed confirmation of how Roy got his 'pretty face' tag, this is it.
A definite incentive to stay awake and pay attention. |
