From Newfoundland, part of Canada now, a serious domestic narrative which amuses certain segments of an audience, depending on their upbringing, and has been known to amaze the stoned, especially late at night. Dolly Cake won a prize at ANN ARBOR Film Festival in 1978 and toured the U.S.A. as a result. – M.J.
