Description: THE ERNIE GAME(1967) This special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Derek Gabryszak) is limited to 1,500 units! From arthouse to Canuxploitation, Canadian International Pictures (CIP) is devoted to resurrecting vital, distinctive, and overlooked triumphs of Canadian cinema. This label is focused on the country’s original cinematic boom years – spanning the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s – occasionally venturing past that period (and the country’s borders) to highlight the films of Canada’s most inspired actors and filmmakers. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing CIP's brand new line of home video releases! Following a mysterious stay in a psychiatric hospital, Ernie Turner (The Prisoner’s Alexis Kanner) decides to pursue his destiny as a writer. Hungry for inspiration and human contact, he ventures into the vibrant streets of ’60s Montreal, establishes a conflicted romance with Donna (The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz’s Judith Gault), and reunites with his frustrated ex, Gail (The Dead Zone’s Jackie Burroughs). Unable to reconcile the pieces of his fragmented existence or make any progress on the literary front, Ernie begins a new descent into madness – with shocking results. The second feature from celebrated Canadian filmmaker Don Owen (Nobody Waved Goodbye), The Ernie Game is a penetrating, unsettling character study and an inexplicably overlooked triumph of the New Hollywood era. Predating like-minded studies of loner desperation from Midnight Cowboy to Taxi Driver in a ’60s milieu comparable to Inside Llewyn Davis – complete with a musical performance by budding folkie Leonard Cohen – The Ernie Game has a distinctly Canadian vitality and desolation. This release also features four of Owen’s earlier films, including Notes for a Film About Donna & Gail – which introduces two of The Ernie Game’s central characters – and a remastered presentation of the landmark documentary (co-directed by Donald Brittain), Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen. directed by: Don Owen starring: Alexis Kanner, Judith Gault, Jackie Burroughs, Derek May, Louis Negin, Leonard Cohen 1967 / 88 min / 1.85:1 / English Mono Additional info: Region Free Blu-ray Booklet Short films: High Steel (1965, 14 min.)

Is he yours?You are a person of good taste. Yes, that's Albert and he's a handsome gentleman cat of 16 years. He snoozes on my desk while overseeing all eBay activities to ensure I meet his high standards. He is a kind and furry overlord. 2. Will you please hold an item for me until I get paid next week?I'm sorry, but no. I rely on eBay for my income and as such I can't hold items. Albert likes high priced cat food and I hate to disappoint him. 3. How soon will you ship my item?I ship the next business day from Monday through Friday. If you purchase an item and pay for it on Tuesday, for example, it will be packaged Tuesday night and sent out with my mail carrier on Wednesday. Items paid for on the weekend will be shipped on Monday. 4.. I have other questions. Can I ask you something else?Go for it. Just send me a message on eBay and I will reply as soon as I can.
