An adventurous romantic comedy, perfect for summer!
Cy Warman, "Poet of the Rockies" has no trouble writing stirring verses about mountains and railways, but when it comes to writing about his beloved Marie, he just can’t articulate his affections. As the two dodge her disapproving father, they must find how to put their love into words.
Inspired by the true story of how in 1891 after a walk in London Ontario’s Victoria Park, Cy Warman wrote the words of Sweet Marie which became one of the most popular songs of the age, and was the namesake for the chocolate bar.
