About Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town
Stephen Leacock recounts his growing up period in the small town of Mariposa, Ontario, located on the shores of Lake Wissanotti with its notoriously leaky holiday steamer. It is a town similar to many other small towns in Canada with its odd assortment of residents.
Directed by Don McBrearty, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town leans on a strong ensemble — Gordon Pinsent, Owen Best, Jill Hennessy — 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 2012.
