Between 1990 and 1994, Paul Flaherty, a Stanford student who was looking for a project, was introduced by his wife to her supervisor.

In 1910, Flaherty was hired as an explorer and prospector along the Hudson Bay for a Canadian railroad company.

By 1916, Flaherty had enough footage that he began test screenings and was met with wide enthusiasm.

However, in 1916, Flaherty dropped a cigarette onto the original camera negative ( which was highly flammable nitrate stock ) and lost 30, 000 feet of film.

With his first attempt ruined, Flaherty decided to not only return for new footage, but also to refocus the film on one Eskimo family as he felt his earlier footage was too much of travelogue.

Spending four years raising money, Flaherty was eventually funded by French fur company Revillon Frères and returned to the North and shot from August 1920 to August 1921.

According to Charles Nayoumealuk, who was interviewed in Nanook Revisited ( 1988 ), " the two women in Nanook-Nyla ( Alice Nuvalinga ) and Cunayou ( whose real name we do not know ) were not Allakariallak's wives, but were in fact common-law wives of Flaherty.

Flaherty also exaggerated the peril to Inuit hunters with his claim, often repeated, that Allakariallak had died of starvation two years after the film was completed, whereas in fact he died at home, likely of tuberculosis.

Walrus hunting was no longer a practice of the Inuit and hadn't been for some time, but Flaherty and the Inuit staged the scene to create a high-tension event.

Robert Flaherty ’ s great innovation was simply to combine the two forms of actuality, infusing the exotic journey with the details of indigenous work and play and life.

Flaherty was married to writer Frances H. Flaherty from 1914 until his death in 1951.

Flaherty was one of seven children born to prospector Robert Henry Flaherty ( an Irish Protestant ) and Susan Klockner ( a German Roman Catholic ); he was sent to Upper Canada College in Toronto for his education.

When Flaherty returned to Toronto with 70, 000 feet of film, the nitrate film stock was ignited in a fire started from his cigarette, in his editing room.

Although his editing print was saved and shown several times, Flaherty wasn't satisfied with the results.

Flaherty was determined to make a new film, one following a life of a typical Inuit and his family.

In 1920, Flaherty secured funds from Revillon Frères, a French fur trade company to shoot what was to become Nanook of the North.

Flaherty also brought full developing, printing and projection equipment to show the Inuit his film, while he was still in the process of filming.

Nanook of the North ( 1922 ) was a successful film, and Flaherty was in great demand afterwards.

The studio heads repeatedly asked for daily rushes but Flaherty had nothing to show because he had not filmed anything yet — his approach was to try to live with the community, becoming familiar with their way of life before building a story around it to film.

On a contract with Paramount to produce another film on the order of Nanook, Flaherty went to Samoa to film Moana ( 1926 ).

In making the film, Flaherty lived with his wife and children in Samoa for more than a year.

Flaherty arrived in Samoa in April 1923 and stayed until December 1924, with the film being completed in December 1925.

Trying to get Flaherty to repeat the success of Nanook, Paramount Pictures sent Flaherty to Samoa to capture the traditional life of the Polynesians on film.

It includes an interview with Flaherty's widow ( and Nanook of the North co-editor ), Frances Flaherty, photos from Flaherty's trip to the arctic, and excerpts from a TV documentary, Flaherty and Film.

Irving Thalberg of M-G-M invited Flaherty to film White Shadows in the South Seas ( 1928 ) in collaboration with W. S. Van Dyke, but their talents proved an uncomfortable fit, and Flaherty resigned from the production.

As with Nanook, too, Flaherty cast locals in the various fictionalized roles, and made use of dramatic recreation of anachronistic behaviors: in this case, a sequence showing the hunting of sharks from small boats with harpoons, which the islanders had by then not practiced for several decades.

In the latter context, Flaherty highlighted competition for agricultural jobs between native-born Americans and migrants from Mexico and the Philippines.

Dónal an-Chogaidh O ' Flaherty had taken a fortress in the Lough Corrib from the Joyce clan.

Around the time of her first husband's death came the initial complaints to the English Council in Dublin from Galway's city leaders that O ' Flaherty and Ní Mháille ships were behaving like pirates.

Presenters include stars ranging from Elizabeth Taylor ( played by O ' Hara ) to Jack Klugman ( Flaherty ) reading off the nominees in each category, with SCTV's chief Guy Caballero secretly having conspired to guarantee that every award goes to his own network's stars.

Episodes featured Ed Grimley in adventures, which start out as mundane, but turn very surreal and cartoonish, interspersed with science lessons from The Amazing Gustav Brothers, Roger and Emil, and a live-action segment with a " scary story " presented as a show-within-a-show by Grimley's favorite television host, SCTVs Count Floyd ( played by SCTV cast member Joe Flaherty ).

Irritated at the interruption, Sister Florence goes outside to fetch Officer Flaherty, who proceeds to arrest Corwin for apparently stealing merchandise from his former place of employment.

Emerging from the precinct, Flaherty and Dundee, now slightly tipsy from sampling the brandy, hear the tinkle of bells and confirm to each other that they have, indeed, just seen Henry Corwin, in a sleigh with reindeer, " sitting next to an elf ", ascend into the night sky on Christmas Eve.
