Kelly's Heroes
Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Donald Sutherland trained as an actor in Canada and the United Kingdom before his career took off in the United States. Over a span of 60 years, with his distinctive charisma and features, the actor has taken on numerous roles in theatre, television, and, most notably, cinema. We pay tribute to him by showcasing three films that contributed to his rise to fame in the early 1970s (M.A.S.H., Klute, and Kelly’s Heroes), one of his most emotional performances (Ordinary People), and one of his significant forays into Quebec cinema (Act of the Heart).
In the midst of the Second World War, American Lieutenant Kelly learns from a German prisoner that a huge amount of money is to be found in a bank 40 kilometers behind enemy lines. Kelly convinces his men to try and get their hands on the loot.
