Robin Spry Dies in Montreal

Toronto-born filmmaker Robin Spry dies in car crash in Montreal Monday March 28, 2005. I will most remember him for his film, Drying Up the Streets. I was about ten or eleven years old when it was aired on CBC TV.

I don't think I will ever forget this movie. Let's just say I should have been a little older before seeing it. Of course, then there's the biopic Malarek (1989), which Spry produced. I believe this is a classic Canadian coming of age story. Loved it then, and watch it everytime it's on the tube.
