FILM REVIEWS
cluding the music, embarrassing. When brass was called for, there was a string band and duelling banjos; when silence would have been better, someone used an old jazz disc from the basement.
Intercut with those goings-on were clips from some of Budge’s old documentaries and features. It was interesting to watch clips from The Loon’s Necklace and Newfoundland Scene from the 1940s, which I’d never seen. The use made of more recent films, however, made me doubt the wisdom of all the selections. For instance, there were clips from The Luck of Ginger Coffey, The Rowdyman and The Man Who Skied Down Everest that seemed to miss the flavor of those films. Unaccountably, nothing from Janis was shown. Oh yes, the program closed with Lorraine Thomson interviewing Budge in the corridor about The Man Who... Why, she asked him, would anyone do such a silly thing as ski down Mt. Everest? Caught off guard, Budge opined as how he must have done it because it was there.
The whole flavor of the program was that of a cheap travelogue made in about 1954. ‘“‘As we leave behind the isle of Pago Pago...” It was the type of programming that, when it comes from the regions, causes CBC people in Toronto and Montreal to grumble about democracy in scheduling. A fine show could have been done on Budge, but Garth Price, who put this turkey together, and Munro Scott, who wrote it, didn’t seem to be trying very hard.
Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Best, Doug Fetherling
