Two half-hour documentaries, one titled "Off The Record"   and the other titled "On The Record"  , which were recorded by the National Film Board of Canada in November 1959.

This was originally released in 1984 on laserdisc on the Classic Video label by Dreamlife Corporation and manufactured and distributed by TOEI Video. This version has three chapters (at relatively meaningless places on the LD) and is a total of about 52 minutes.

This was later reissued with digital sound on laserdisc in 1989 by Philips [CDV-51], and manufactured by Nippon Phonogram Co. This version has two chapter stops (one at the beginning of each of the two documentaries) and is a total of 59 minutes. I can't figure out what additional information is on the Philips release to account for the 7 extra minutes (other than a little extra prologue to each film), as the two releases appear to have the same content. One day I'll have to figure out what is really missing from the TOEI version.

Both the audio and video are crisper on the Philips release, which also has a Japanese insert page. My copy of the TOEI video one has no insert or OBI (although I may have sadly discarded the OBI back in the mid 80s when I wasn't thinking clearly).
