The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1974). 2h | PG

“A Canadian film that isnu0026#39;t a joke. Wow. u0026#39;The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitzu0026#39; is a wonderful thing. Letu0026#39;s start with the novel. I read it as part of an English Lit class in High School and read it every autumn for seven years. It just goes so well with those first few blustery nights that arrive mid-October. Always tough for a screenplay to match up with a novel but novelist Mordecai Richler and Lionel Chetwynd were nominated for Academy Awards and lost to u0026#39;The Godfather Part 2u0026#39;s Coppola and Puzo – not bad. Wonderful to watch – just look at all the great street scenes, the country scenes, the autumn leaves, Duddyu0026#39;s well-lit apartment, Moeu0026#39;s Cigar Store…I mean, this is Canada keeping warm and cozy on a cool, October evening. The film, and the novel, are great to curl up with.”
