An out-of-work Irish immigrant in Montreal remains hopeful that his luck is about to change but his disillusioned family grow tired of his pigheadedness and instability.

Rather than adapt a later or create a new Oz story, this production has Dorothy still in posession of the shoes, and she clings to an apple tree during a tornado which takes her back to Oz. The Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion (using the names created for the nearly-abstract television series, Tales of the Wizard of Oz, from which this was derived) have had their MGM gifts destroyed by the restored Wicked Witch, and the four proceed to the Wizard for help, who is ineffectual as usual.

A BAFTA award nominated Canadian documentary about the building of the fourth generator building at Kitimat, British Columbia and the aluminium smelters it will supply.

A man obsessed with his award-winning lawn goes to great lengths to keep it looking great when mushrooms suddenly start appearing all over the yard.

Teenager Mary has strong physical yearnings for her boyfriend, so she asks her mother for advice on what she should do about said carnal cravings.

An overview of the social, emotional, mental and physical changes which occur in the adolescent with suggestions on how adults can help.

The film looks into the meaning of various forms of conduct in children from six to nine years and suggests ways in which parents may guide them through a challenging, often trying phase of development. In a family with three children we observe how the parents cope with often baffling situations

An account of the building and bringing into operation of Canada's pioneer nuclear power plant - the Nuclear Power Demonstration Station (NPD), built in northern Ontario as a prototype for larger plants. The film explains the principle of nuclear fission. Produced by Crawley Films Ltd. for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, Ontario Hydro and Canadian General Electric Company Limited.

The Canadian program for nuclear fuel waste management is explained through interviews with people working inside and outside the nuclear industry and by a visit to the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment, where a long-range used-fuel disposal program is being developed. Revised version from the film Nuclear Fuel Waste Management (106C 0179 542). Produced for the NFB by Crawley Films Ltd. for Atomic Energy Canada, Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment.

The focus of this film is on Canada's nuclear research centre at Chalk River, Ontario. Key to atomic progress are the radioactive isotopes. The insertion and handling of these isotopes in the deadly interior of the reactor are shown in detail. Also shown are the applications of radioactive isotopes in various fields of endeavor, particularly medicine, agriculture, and manufacturing industries. Co-produced by the NFB and Crawley Films Ltd. with the assistance of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.

The success of this first full-scale nuclear power station on the shores of Lake Huron has shown the way for the economic large-scale production of electricity from uranium. This film describes the plant at Douglas Point, Ontario, and the process by which the uranium atom is split, employing heavy water with a special property, deuterium, giving the name CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) to the Canadian system of atomic energy production. Produced for the NFB by Crawley Films Ltd. for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.

A portrait of Newfoundland that records a way of life that has all but disappeared.

Filmed at the Pickering, Ontario, nuclear power plant, showing also the earlier Douglas Point station and Québec's new Gentilly plant, this film offers audiences a clear illustration of how an atomic reactor produces electricity. Special features of the Canadian (CANDU) (Canada Deuterium Uranium) system are explained: on-power refueling; the use of natural uranium; the use of heavy water as moderator. CANDU is recognized internationally as a leader in man's search for new sources of energy. Produced for the NFB by Crawley Films Ltd. for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.

An afternoon and evening in the complicated lives of six teenagers.

Discusses how the emotional and physical development of children from ten to twelve years manifests itself in their behavior, their attitudes toward their parents, their teachers, and each other. Shows the children of one family in various situations in the home, at school, and in group play, and explains that much of their conflicting behavior is actually a normal part of their growing process

An account of the mining and refining of uranium showing how the development of energy from uranium is providing much of the world’s current needs. The film looks at the manufacturing of the uranium fuel used in CANDU lead reactors and explains the fission process, the fueling of reactors and the management of radioactive waste.

A comprehensive treatment of technical and engineering aspects of Canada's first large nuclear electric power plant at Douglas Point, Ontario. The film shows the design, machining and assembly of component parts, and the special properties of the materials that went into the construction, as well as some of the exhaustive tests that were made before the station went "on power." Produced for the NFB by Crawley Films Ltd. for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.

Man's need to create beauty, to interpret the world around him in image and color, has found expression in many forms, from the days of primitive culture to the present. This film surveys the work of Canadian craftsmen in many fields, showing how the changing Canadian scene has been their constant inspiration and how business enterprise today is increasingly using the skills of the artisan to enhance the decor of building interiors.
