The Best Damn Fiddler from Calabogie to Kaladar

The setting for this drama is a logging community, focusing on a man who chooses the unfettered life and uncertain income of an itinerant bush worker, even though it means that his family lives poorly as a result. The film is a study of the effects on family life of isolation and deprivation. Features a wonderful performance from a young Margot Kidder.

Directed by Peter Pearson - 1968 | 49 min
