Silver Screen offers Can-Con

For old movies from 1940 and 50s, check out the Silver Screen TV channel.

As well, for filler between movies it shows old National Film Board shorts.

I have seen one on Sable Island, one on a poverty-stricken family in Toronto, and many more.

I was surprised when an interview with an Arctic sea captain resulted in not an exciting account of life on the great ice shelf of the Far North, but instead a mini-lecture in how to use a sextant. He was definitely a no-nonsense capable man indeed.

As well, for old-style entertainment, check out when the Silver Screen parts with its visual display almost altogether and broadcasts old-time radio shows. showing only still photos of people performing radio shows to microphones.
