The Rowdyman

I fondly remember seeing this film on the CBC in the early '70s. It is just as funny and touching as I remember. It should be more widely seen today. If it is possible for a foreign made film to be included on the National Film Registry that Congress created The Rowdyman should definitely be included. The Rowdyman is a hallmark and masterpiece not only of Canadian cinema but the cinema of any nation. Gordon Pinsent is an extraordinarily talented actor and writer. If the area where this film was shot looks anything like it did in the early 1970s I would love to vacation there. This film is a high point in the career of all involved.
