(Linkage) You'd Do It For Randolph Scott

Today's Globe & Mail is carrying an article called "Hollywood's not-so-True North" about the Golden-Age of Canadian-themed cinema (1940  to 1960) down South.

It's a fun little read, highlighting the best of the genre, along with all their more notable blunders.   (e.g. Saskatchewan sprouts mountains in both the eponymous 1954 film and 1942's Pierre of the Plains.)  If nothing else, some of the movie posters have to be seen to be believed.  (Love the toque, John.)

Edit: I suppose it helps if I actually include the link to the article, doesn't it?
