Montreal by Night

Production: Sydney Newman

Montréal, on a summer's night, presented as a pot-pourri of contrasting sights and sounds. It is now North America's second port and, after Paris, the world's largest French-speaking city. Its historic and religious shrines, its elevators and warehouses, the offices, homes and clubs of its merchant princes, its glittering night-spots and amusement parks, its streets with their outside corkscrew stairways--are all seen as the bright background to the happiness of boy and girl.

Today, some of the cultural depictions and language in the film are considered outdated and offensive.
