Sunshine sketches of our little town

The CBC is filming a TV movie based on Stephen Leacock's 'Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town'. And where oh where could they find a beautiful little village to use as a backdrop for their filming? Why Millbrook, of course!

They have transformed the main street into a circa-1912 worthy set, complete with dirt on the road, horses, and some very charming shopping establishments. (Not much of a need for Temperance Hall in Millbrook these days, I suspect!).

Here are a few photos of all the lights, cameras and action!

Waiting between takes - must be hot in those dresses!

Putting the final touches on the olde-town

No sign of some of the Canadian stars rumoured to be in the movie including Eugene Levy, Gordon Pinsent, and Colin Mochrie. We will investigage again tomorrow - who knows, they may need some delightful kids to act as extras. Oh wait, I don't have any of those! Har har har.

That's all from Millywood!
