Show detail Hide detail

Third television documentary program of a four-part series, offers a portrait of Maurice Le Noblet Duplessis, one of Canada's outstanding provincial premiers of the thirties. Host and narrator, Professor John Saywell of the University of Toronto, examines Duplessis' long political & controversial career: his leadership of the New Conservative Party of Quebec, and his joining with Paul Gouin, leader of L'Action Libérale Nationale, to form a new coalition party, L'Union Nationale; his sensational exposé on the corruption of the Taschereau Liberal government; his efforts to consolidate his position as sole chief of L'Union naitonale after outmaneuvering Gouin and his allies; and his landslide victory over Joseph-Adélard Godbout in the 1936 election. Saywell also talks with: André Laurendeau (associate editor of "Le Devoir"); Madame Henri Balcer (Duplessis' sister); Jean Mercier (his lawyer at the time); Mme Thérèse Casgrain (Québec feminist and socialist); David Craig (Québec farmer at the time); and Paul Bouchard (journalist). Includes archival photos and footage showing scenes of Québec in depression years; Duplessis and other political men of the thirties; and sound recording excerpts of Duplessis' speeches. <30mn>
