The North American premiere of Twentieth Century-Fox’s Quest for Fire was held at the Imperial Theatre, Montreal, Wednesday, February 10.
The premiere was a Gala Benefit for The World Film Festival with tickets selling at $100.00 per seat. Ticket price included dinner and dancing at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel following the performance.
Co-producers John Kemeny and Denis Héroux were introduced in a brief ceremony preceding the screening along with Director JeanJacques Annaud and the four principal stars: Everett McGill; Rae
Dawn Chong; Ron Perlman and Nameer El-Kadi.
The glittering black-tie audience included Federal Communications Minister Francis Fox, Serge Losique and Madame Denise Filiatrault, President and Honorary President, respectively, of The World Film Festival. Also in attendance were scores of notables from the media and film world, the performing arts, and the financial and business community.
Manageress Mme. Mariette Morin and her staff were proud hosts indeed as they welcomed the capacity crowd of first-nighters to the beautifully refurbished Imperial Theatre.
