I had the pleasure of first seeing Young Triffie at the 2006 Vancouver International Film Festival... and then again on the Film Channel via satellite .
Set in Swyer's Harbour, Newfoundland in 1948, this comic tale is based on the play, Young Triffie's Been Made Away With by Ray Guy, who co-wrote the film's screenplay. The story begins when Andrew Hepditch, played by Fred Ewanuick, a young, officious, by-the-book Newfoundland Ranger, is dispatched by his Commanding Officer out to the isolated outport to investigate a common sheep-shagging/mutilation. Hepditch also finds himself face and eyes into the death of a young girl and way over his head in the mysterious workings of outport village life in Newfoundland. Mary Walsh (who also produced & directed) is brilliant as Millie Bishop, the post mistress, telephone operator, and the nosy village gossip. From beginning to end, the laughter never lets up in this comic murder mystery. The script is clever... listen carefully; there are some good bits throughout.
My only regret about this film is that it didn't seem to released to the theatres as was planned in the Spring of 2007. Good Canadian fare that should have a wider audience. I hope it will be released on DVD with plenty of extras. I will put it in my collection in a heartbeat.
At the film festival, the theatre was packed full. Everyone, as far as I could tell, liked it very much. On that basis, I find some of the reviews here, quite disappointing. One man's meat is another man's poison, I guess.
