In Search of the Last Good Man is a Canadian comedy-drama short film, directed by Peg Campbell and released in 1989.[1] Cowritten with Peggy Thompson as a follow-up to their 1986 short film It's a Party!,[2] the film blends live action and animation to depict a group of women in a coffee shop talking about their relationships with men.[1]

Campbell described the film as "an experiment in camera movement, using a dolly to create a constant sense of swooping movement."[3]

The film won the Genie Award for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 11th Genie Awards.[4]
