Métropole

I looked at the English language version of this short film from the National Film Board of Canada, and fond it to be an affectionate and charming look at Montreal after dark. What do people do when the sun goes down and work ceases? Why, they go to the club, or the movies, or out on a date with their best boy, just like everywhere else, and they do so in a city of lights.

It's not Paris, so the lights are neon signs, and the fountains are places where you can get a Coca-Cola, but that makes no never mind; people are much the same everywhere. So we get girls from cigarette factories, and bankers, and charwomen and industrialists, and men playing checkers and croquet.
