Quote:
"[John] Grierson gave [Judith Crawley] a different assignment: a film called Four Apple Dishes, intended to show Canadians how to use the bumper crop of apples coming that year. It was a bit of film domesticity for which she was neither inclined nor suited. [...] She took on Four Apple Dishes nonetheless, and insisted it be shot in colour on high-quality Kodachrome. Grierson agreed, and the first Canadian colour film was made."
