Montreal in the mid-sixties from the perspective of a working class snow-plow operator on a Christmas eve. I loved this movie, the music, the acting. A gentle, funny tumble in the snow. Snow-ploy operator Leo Z. zips around Montreal making deals, trying to get his wife her present. An ever-present boss, a visiting friend, and a snow storm combine to make his efforts complicated. Leo and his boss in particular play a humorous game of cat and mouse throughout the day. Working class Montreal through rose-tinted glasses, a bit on the light side. In the end, after everything has fallen neatly into place, Léopold even manages to attend midnight Mass. If you lived that during that era this is must see.
