What was Montreal like in the 1950s and 1960s? What were its distinguishing features? What was the role of the Catholic Church? What kinds of transportation were most common? Did cultural life seem to play an important role? What were the working-class neighbourhoods like? This film is an ideal tool for studying the structure and dynamics of life in Montreal on the cusp of the Quiet Revolution.
