The film depicts Montreal's jazz age in the 1930's and 40's when the city was a 'hotbed of hedonism and jazz'. Filmed in Montreal in April/May 2003. Also starring Dawn Tyler Watson as Curly. Directed by Gilles Noël.

The Saint-Henri Quarter: In 1929, little Jack Paradise (Roxan Bourdelais), who lives in Saint-Henri, secretly goes out to listen to jazz in the city. At the age of 11, he already likes ragtime and 'plays' the keys that he drew on a window sill. It is there, in the alleys of the quarter, that he meets Curly, a black woman with a bewitching voice, and her friends, all of them musicians. Ten years later, hired to clean the Terminal Club, the young man makes his debut as a pianist beside Oliver Jones, then forms his own group, the Jack Paradise Band, which will become the official orchestra of the club. Jack will be split between the passionate relationship he has with Curly (Dawn Tyler Watson) and his love for Gisèle (Geneviève Rioux), who will become his wife.

Note: The star, Dawn Tyler Watson, will be in attendance. She will be doing a couple of numbers, in the theatre, immediately following the movie. She will also be doing a set or two at Docks on Thursday evening at our Gala.
