The Flower Between the Teeth (French: La fleur aux dents) is a Canadian drama television film, directed by Thomas Vámos and released in 1976.[1] Adapted from the novel La fleur aux dents by Gilles Archambault, the film stars Claude Jutra as Georges Lamontagne, a radio broadcaster in his 40s who is increasingly out of touch with the changing social values of the 1970s: his daughter Marie-France (Anne Dandurand) is pregnant but has announced that she will not be marrying the baby's father, his wife Louise (Lise Lasalle) is no longer satisfied with life as a housewife and wants to be more independent, and the radio station where he works is moving away from its talk radio past, in which Georges thrived as a producer of philosophical documentaries on Quebec nationalism, toward a youth-oriented pop music format.[2]
The cast also includes Guy L'Écuyer, Gaétan Labrèche, Ghislaine Paradis, Michelle Rossignol, Serge Thériault, Jacques Famery, Jacques L'Heureux, Jean Mathieu, Guy Nadon, Jean-Pierre Saulnier, Manuel Aranguiz, Pierre Maheu, Danielle Naud and Jean-Pierre Piché in supporting roles.[2]
The film was broadcast by Télévision de Radio-Canada in January 1976.[3]
