The Luck of Ginger Coffey was one of those movies that Montrealophiles had to luck into seeing late at night, until now that is.
As you can see, somebody has put Irish-newspaperman-immigrant Brian Moore 1964 Montreal gem onto YouTube for your fuzzy eyes to watch. It's a pretty neat movie although a bit depressing if I recall correctly.

I've never read Moore's books, but always meant to get around to reading the Revolution Script about the FLQ and enjoyed the film Black Robe immensely.

(Weintraub's Why Rock the Boat? and Glassco's Memoirs of Montparnasse are possibly the two Montreal books that I got the biggest kick out of as a kid).
Anyway the best stuff in this film are the outdoor shots, look at 5:05, 40:00, 53:40 and 1:33:00 for some good scenes.

Alas I am pretty bad at recognizing any of those streetscapes and it's sorta driving me nuts. Anybody up to figuring it out?
