MVD Entertainment Group Bestows Marquee Collection Status On John Candy's Canadian Bacon • Blu-ray Available On Sept. 13

The Marquee Collection will be getting a new Blu-ray member on Sept. 13.  So says MVD Entertainment Group that writer/director Michael Moore’s only non-doc film production, the 1995 comedy, Canadian Bacon, starring John Candy and Alan Alda, along with Kevin Pollak, Rip Torn and Steven Wright.

Moore, known for his provocative documentaries (Oscar-winner for Bowling for Columbine), not only wrote and directed Canadian Bacon, but produced as well.  A comedy, a satire, whatever you prefer, and blessed with a terrific cast, we find that the military industrial complex needs to boost revenues and so they team up with a low-approval president (played by Alan Alda) to start a “cold war” with Canada.

A lot of noise, but little else, that is until a local sheriff (Candy) offends Canadian beer at a hockey game!   The cooked-up war with our neighbor to the north might just be happening right before our eyes as a result of this unprovoked aggression.

Be sure to check out the Blu-ray debut on Sept. 13.
