The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (2001)
“It was Mr. Cohen on the phone.
“Rotten stinker!”
Mr. Cohen had shown Happy Bar-Mitzvah, Bernie! to Dave Stewart in Toronto and Dave, who was with Columbia, had walked out in the middle of the first reel. “Amateur night in Dixie,” he had said.

“You’ll never see that five hundred dollars again,” Yvette said.
“The hell with the money. The day after tomorrow is the Seigal bar-mitzvah. What am I going to do for a cameraman?”
“He’s probably back in England by now.”
“Do you think,” Duddy asked, “if I studied up on it that I could learn how to shoot a film before Saturday morning?”
On Friday afternoon, Duddy moved into his apartment on Tupper Street. “This is the berries,” he said.MoreLess
