Cornet at Night (1963)
Directed by Stanley Jackson
“A memory of boyhood on a northern Saskatchewan farm.”
Drama, Family · 14m
Based on a short story by Sinclair Ross, this short film recalls rural life on the Prairies in the 1930s. In the film a farmer's young son, sent to town to hire a man for the harvest, readily accepts when an itinerant trumpet player, down on his luck, begs a chance. He is hardly the kind of man the boy's father had in mind, but that night his trumpet speaks from the shadows and everyone pauses to listen.
