The King Chronicle CINEMA CAN A D A • Donald Brittain's The King chronicle t first glance, the life of Mackenzie King might seem to offer a wealth of material for a fascinating, if quirky, story - 22 years as prime minister of Canada while, at various times, consortingA with prostitutes, parleying with Hitler, getting regular advice from the dead, and having a dog for closest confidant. But Donald Brittain's six-hour, three-part docu-drama, The Killg Chronicle (co-produced by the National Film Board and the CBC), lies steadfastly two-dimensional on the TV screen and refuses to come alive. Brittain's recounting is based on King's 12-million-word diary, but the diary, instead of revealing the inner life of an eminent public figure, is, according to Brittain's own descrip- " tion, "stuffed with sanctimonious self-importan- ! ceo "King's contemporaries called him" dull and ~ devious'''; in Parliament he was known as a ~ bone-crushing bore.

At the end of the contrast or context, into something of dramatic - but even so, a conference is a conference, and Chronicle does not succeed in making it Chronicle, the viewer will certainly know more import.

  • A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography
    A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography Volume 7 Audio/Visual Materials Alphabetical Listing Compiled by Timothy J. Johnson Minneapolis High Coffee Press 2018 A Holmes & Doyle Bibliography Vol. 7, Audio/Visual Materials, Alphabetical Listing INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B. De Waal’s comprehensive bibliography, The Universal Sherlock Holmes, but does not claim to be exhaustive in content. New works are continually discovered and added to this bibliography. Readers and researchers are invited to suggest additional content. This volume contains an alphabetical listing of audio-visual materials. Coverage of this material begins around 1994, the final year covered by De Waal's bibliography, but may not yet be totally up-to-date (given the ongoing nature of this bibliography). It is hoped that other titles will be added at a later date. The first volume in this supplement focuses on monographic and serial titles, arranged alphabetically by author or main entry. The second volume presents the exact same information arranged by subject. The third volume focuses on the periodical literature of Doyle and Holmes, listing individual articles alphabetically. The fourth volume includes "core" or "primary" citations from the periodical literature. The fifth volume includes "passing" or "secondary" references to Doyle or Holmes in the periodical literature. The sixth volume organizes the periodical literature according to De Waal's original categories. As the bibliography expands, additional annotations will be provided in order to give the researcher a better idea on the exact Holmesian or Doylean reference contained in each article. The compiler wishes to thank Peter E.
