description

Documentary that is a record of the trajectory of Charles Bedaux, an eccentric French millionaire that during the years of the Great Depression in the U.S., at the end of the twenties, decided to embark on an unusual excursion. He set off across the Canadian territory accompanied by a caravan of hundreds of people including his wife, his mistress, and a film photographer from Hollywood, Floyd Crosby that was later to be part of the team in "High Noon" by Fred Zinnemann. The film that resulted from this adventure disappeared after Bedaux's death. Found later, it served as raw material for Director George Ungar to effect this brilliant documentary, which reveals the Bedaux's liaisons with the nazism and denunciates his collaboracionism.
