Jacques Godin Movies
French-Canadian supporting actor Jacques Godin first appeared onscreen in the '70s. ~ Rovi- 1972
The Quebecois screenplay of this Canadian film went through a long process before being filmed; written in Czechoslovakian, it was translated from Czech into English, English into French and from standard French into Quebecois. The story concerns a father and son living on a farm which has been passed on from father to son for many generations. The boy has no interest in keeping the farm, preferring to sell it to some Americans as a hunting club. The father would rather burn the place down. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Ginger Coffey (Robert Shaw) is an out-of-work Irish immigrant who moves to Montreal with his wife, Vera (Mary Ure), and teenage daughter, Paulie (Libby McClintock), in hopes of a better life. After six months, the family fortunes have not changed, and Vera and Paulie beg Ginger to return to Ireland. He lands a job as a proofreader with a newspaper, but Vera and Paulie move out when Vera realizes his 45 dollar-a-week paycheck will not suffice. Ginger quits his second job as a laundry-truck driver and pins all his hopes on becoming a reporter. Paulie comes back to live with him, but Ginger is fired at the paper and sinks deeper into alcoholism and depression. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
