Interesting facts

The Three Worlds of Nick is a Canadian anthology film, comprising John Paizs's short film trilogy of Springtime in Greenland (1981), Oak, Ivy, and Other Dead Elms (1982) and The International Style (1983). The films all starred Paizs as Nick, a "quiet man" who never speaks in any of the three films, but is placed in very different scenarios which each represent a different genre of film; Paizs described the character as "a Buster Keaton-like character in the sound era", and named him after Ernest Hemingway's recurring semi-autobiographical Nick Adams character.
