Notes for a Film About Donna & Gail

Owen, Don, (film director.). Biggs, Julian, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: The story of two young women who go to the city to work in a dress factory, and who share a room to ease their expenses and their loneliness. The film shows the currents that brought them together and the facets of their natures that first made them seem compatible but eventually drove them apart. Their story reflects, to a degree, the situation of anyone who has ever shared the life of another.
