Cornet at Night
Based on a short story by Sinclair Ross, this short film recalls rural life on the Prairies in the 1930s. In the film a farmer's young son, sent to town to hire a man for the harvest, readily accepts when an itinerant trumpet player, down on his luck, begs a chance. He is hardly the kind of man the boy's father had in mind, but that night his trumpet speaks from the shadows and everyone pauses to listen.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Cornet at Night is a very strong film rated 8.0/10. Great direction and performances make this one well worth adding to your watchlist.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A classic from 1963. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: any evening when you want quality cinema with no compromises.
