The Dionne Quintuplest follows Cécile, Émilie, Marie, Yvonne and Annette through twenty-one years of strange upbringing. When the girls were just infants, the Premier of Ontario issued a court order removing them from the parental family, and over-publicized, viewed twice daily in a special viewing compound, they grew up as prize exhibits. Director Donald Brittain uses old newsreel footage, home-movie sequences and interviews to depict and historic event that became a tragic exploitation of a family. Based on the book The Dionne Years by Pierre Berton. <87mn 2s>Language:EnglishOriginal number:116C 0178 380Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
