Phenomenal news. These extras that will deliver a sense of Defalco's wider filmography. In a world where CBC licensing wasn't impossible this could have the landmark 1st episode of Wojeck with Johnny Yesno as well. But while we wait for the CBC to loosen up, buy this and watch it front to back.

FUN FACT: David Cronenberg called WINTER KEPT US WARM “the most influential movie of my life.” He was attending the University of Toronto and one of his classmates, David Secter, was writing and directing it. It was the first time Cronenberg realized that you can just go out and make your own movie.
Winter Kept Us Warm (1965), Canada's first gay film.
It was also Canada's first English language film to screen at Cannes.
