   Take a peek at the video above to understand the significance of Donald Britton's 1976 documentary on longtime Montreal Mayor Camillien HoudeHis Worship Mr Montreal 

  This Coolopolis video analyzes the backstory on Houde and his circle and features video of well-known Montreal characters unseen elsewhere, including Frank Hanley, Tracy Ludington, Fred Savage and Kid Oblay.

     Hertel Larocque, who served as Houde's assistant until 1935 claims that Houde seriously considered attempting a fascist coup against Ottawa in his early days.

 Larocque was an oddball who was later busted for attempting to extort a nightclub owner in 1946 and he was confined to an insane asylum in 1970. 

 Impish, longtime Houde ally Frank Hanley, who ruled Point St. Charles as city councillor from 1948, also offers his insight in some rare footage that showcases his special form of charisma. 

 Longtime Montreal cop Fred Savage weighs in on why Montreal cops allowed prostitution and gambling to thrive and reporter Tracy Ludington of tells of his role in getting Houde sent to internment camp for four years. 

 Kid Oblay, a strange and well-known figure from Peel and St. Catherine also offers some rather strange commentary.
