The Ernie Game

Back on Montreal's streets after his discharge from a psychiatric hospital, handsome but hopeless Ernie Turner (Alexis Kanner) turns on the charm and talks up his literary pretensions to any woman who'll support him--and there are several--but his grandiose behavior ultimately leads him out of their lives and afoul of the law. Of-its-moment character study from Canada co-stars Judith Gault, Jackie Burroughs and--singing at a house party sequence--Leonard Cohen. 89 min.
