About Springtime in Greenland
Springtime in Greenland uses '50s cinematic conventions and attitudes to tell a story about the sophomoric inhabitants of a fictional utopia.
Directed by John Paizs, Springtime in Greenland leans on a strong ensemble — John Paizs, Dean Dacko, Robert Waksdale — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1981.
