True Confections
True Confections is a 1991 Canadian comedy-drama film written and directed by Gail Singer.[1] Based on Sondra Gotlieb's Stephen Leacock Award-winning novel True Confections, it stars Leslie Hope as Verna Miller, a young Jewish woman growing up in the 1950s who rebels against the rigid gender role assigned to women in her era due to her ahead-of-her-time sensibilities and life aspirations.[2] Rather than a strict adaptation of Gotlieb's novel, Singer added some material to the screenplay that was more reflective of her own experiences in that era.[3] The film's cast also includes Judah Katz, Chandra West, Jeff Pustil, Jill Riley, Stewart Bick and Daniel Kash.[4] The film premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival in August 1991,[4] and was screened at the 1991 Festival of Festivals in September.[5] Singer's documentary film Wisecracks was also screened at the 1991 Festival of Festivals, making her the first filmmaker in the festival's history to have both a documentary and a narrative fiction film screened at the festival in the same year.[6] Award nominationsThe film garnered three Genie Award nominations at the 13th Genie Awards in 1992:[7]
