Paul Tomkowicz: Street-Railway Switchman
Рет қаралды 3,212
2 жыл бұрынIn this film, Paul Tomkowicz, Polish-born Canadian, talks about his job and his life in Canada. He compares his new life in the city of Winnipeg to the life he knew in Poland, marvelling at the freedom Canadians enjoy. In winter the rail-switches on streetcar tracks in Winnipeg froze and jammed with freezing mud and snow. Keeping them clean, whatever the weather, was the job of the switchman.
Directed by Roman Kroitor - 1953 | 9 min

The movie on the theatre marquee is dated 1952, so probably as close as a guess.

I’m not really sure about the point of this movie. Why was it shot at night when you can hardly see anything? Very weird.
