Great film. Wonderful to get a look at Canada circa 1940. And the scene in the teepee at the lake. The actor who played the author and refined gentleman died about a year later. Germans shot down his airliner between Spain and England.

Churchill mentions in his history of WWII rumors that a German agent misidentified a man resembling himself, who boarded the plane, as him. The speculation was that this is the reason that particular plane was targeted. Leslie Howard played the same type character in The Painted Desert and Gone With the Wind.
