Man of Music is a 1959 documentary that explores the life and work of composer Healey Willan. This film provides an intimate look at his contributions to music through various settings, including his church and interactions with students.
This film is somewhat rare on the collector's market, primarily found in specialty screenings and niche archives. The limited formats released over the years—mostly on VHS and a few digital restorations—make it a bit of a hunt for those interested. Interest tends to stem from both music aficionados and documentary collectors, with discussions about its historical value often surfacing in niche forums. If you find a copy, it's worth holding onto, especially given the unique perspective it offers on a notable but perhaps underappreciated figure in Canadian music.
