Show detail Hide detail

Television documentary on William Lyon MacKenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada for most of the period between 1921 and 1948. Archival footage, interviews, news excerpts, and narrative are used to explore King's personal and political life. Among those interviewed are: J.W. Pickersgill, former King aide; Dale Thomson, historian; Senator Thérèse Casgrain; Dorothy McCurry, neighbour; Norman Campbell, journalist; and Edna Poole, spiritualist. Shots of King's summer home and Laurier House study; stills of his grandfather, his mother, his mentor Sir Wilfred Laurier, and his beloved dog; quotations from F.R. Scott's satirical poem; and a tribute from journalist Bruce Hutchison present an enigmatic portrait. Noteworthy archival footage includes: C.D. Howe, a key architect of development after World War II; the arrest of spy suspects in the 1940s; Sir Winston Churchill speaking on the Communist threat (1946); the Communist overthrow of Czechoslovakia (1948); and the Berlin Airlift delivering supplies during the Russian blockade of West Berlin (1948). <60mn>
