豆知識

The Bitter Ash is a Canadian drama film, directed by Larry Kent and released in 1963. One of the first narrative feature films ever shot in Vancouver, the film stars Alan Scarfe as Des, an unhappy blue collar man who is drawn into the city's counterculture underground, where he clashes with bohemian intellectual Colin over the affections of Colin's wife Laurie.

Production

Kent made the film while he was a student at the University of British Columbia, and the film was acted primarily by university drama students rather than professional actors. The film was in production from June to August 1963, at a cost of $5,000 (equivalent to $50,994 in 2025).
