Elwy Yost's Saturday Night at the Movies

Published February 12, 2008 @ 11:25 in Memories

memoryYouTube user WNED17 recently uploaded some fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems. These clips have brought back a tonne of memories for me, so I'm going to feature them one by one over the next few weeks.

I've written about Elwy Yost before. He hosted Magic Shadows and Saturday Night at the Movies on TVOntario for most of my life and the tone of his voice always brings me back.

This clip is the outro for Saturday Night at the Movies from 1979.

As an added bonus, here's the awesome intro for Magic Shadows.

Hi Mike,
Would you have any information on a documentary Elwy did in 1982 featuring the Canadian Armed Forces. He filmed our squad during basic training in CFB Cornwalis NS and I would love to get a hold of the documentary.

Sorry, William. I can't help with that one.

Hello William,

The name of the film is "Cornwallis: Through the Front Door" (Nimbus Films Ltd., 1983). If you like, you can obtain a copy from the National Film Board.

Regards,

Reg
