Quote:
"In comparison with the early work in Britain, there was [at the National Film Board of Canada] the same spirit, same philosophy, same rundown kind of equipment, same work under difficulties, same government-persuaded-to-act situation, same freedom for the individual, and also the same trust. The tempo was the same, in spite of different locations; but a much larger thing in Canada, on account of the war."
