Chautauqua Girl is a Canadian romantic drama television film, which was broadcast by CBC Television in 1984.[1] Written by Jeannine Locke and directed by Rob Iscove, the film is set in 1921 and stars Janet-Laine Green as Sally Driscoll, a woman who is touring Western Canada as a representative of the travelling Chautauqua organization; arriving in the small town of Fairville, Alberta, she finds the town unprepared for the upcoming event but meets and falls in love with Neil McCallum (Terence Kelly), a widowed farmer who is running as a United Farmers of Alberta candidate in the imminent 1921 Alberta general election.[2]
The cast also includes Jackie Burroughs as Mrs. Ferguson, a pioneer woman in the community whose hard life has made her much older in appearance and spirit than her actual age.[3]
The film was shot in Alberta, primarily around Blackie and at Heritage Park Historical Village in Calgary.[4] It was broadcast by CBC Television on January 8, 1984.[3]
