The story of a bizarre bequest of a wealthy late Canadian lawyer: the woman who birthed the most children in the City of Toronto within a certain time period would inherit a fortune in the midst of the Great Depression.

Mario Azzopardi

The Stork Derby

During the depression there were the &quot;Have&apos;s&quot; and mostly the &quot;Have Not&apos;s&quot;. This made for TV film is based on factual events about a dead lawyer who in 1926 leaves in his will that the Toronto, Onraio, Canadian woman who has born the most babies in the 10 years after his death, will recieve an award of one (1) million dollars. So the stork race begins with the largest newspaper in the country the Toronto Star, promoting who the leading candidates are since they had birthed several babies in the few years after their beneficiary&apos;s death.

The film refelects these publicized families as good Catholics who seem to pop babies out at will, one right after the other, but mostly in poverty. There is a twist at the end of this film that is reflective of the varying degrees of a families status based on their income, residence, as well as their ethnic race and religious background. Mrs. Shullivan and I both found the film enlightening, with very good acting. Our overall opinion of the trade of being a lawyer just becomes even more smarmy and untrustworthy based on the actual behaviour of the deceased Toronto Lawyer Charles Millar a wealthy never-married lawyer, who in 1926 placed in his last testament and will a prize of one (1) million dollars to the woman who bore the most babies in the next 10 years since his death and what turned out to be a rigged contest from the get go.
