["Toronto's most loved and loathed film-connoisseur"-Toronto

theater that is certainly the most unique theater to be found

Canada or the WORLD, for that matter...a LEGEND..a true rennaisance

"Nobody reads War and Peace for nostalgic reasons. I want them to
deal with my (Classic archive) films like they would deal with
APOCALYPSE NOW.I want people to see BIRTH OF A NATION as a film, not
as history or for archival reasons or because it's interesting. It's
not INTERESTING it's SHATTERING, it's AWESOME. Griffiths went where no
man has gone before..."[-Reg Hartt, aged 33, in a Toronto Star
