Plot: Lemon Pie is a quirky tale about a man who has been dealt a bad hand in life but finds the courage - and the right props - to tickle Fortune's soft spot. Unbeknownst to him, the innocent hospital nurse Blake (Daniel Ball) is off to a terrible day. He commits one blunder after another before the eyes of the insinuating floor supervisor (Cynthia Wegel) and his maniacal boss Dr. Vandernet (Thomas Benton). Things slip completely out of control when Blake mishandles one of the patients, the portly hip-hop wannabe Reggie (Michael Barra). Out of luck and out of favor, Blake processes his emotions through his stomach. He goes to his favorite diner expecting the usual fare, only to find out that the attractive new waitress Maria (Liza Burns) will not put up with his antics. What follows is a game of wits with a lemon twist, but who will take the upper hand?

Canadian actors Paul Gross & Martha Burns are top of their field for their contributions to the theatre, television, and movies. They are also role models, having been happily married since 1988 - worth a nod in their particular industry, where divorce and infidelity run rampant. I have been a fan of Paul Gross since 1994, and made this video to celebrate he and his wife's 25th anniversary! Included are old pictures and new, with video clips from awards shows and of course Slings & Arrows (tv series). Also, pictures with their children. The song is Kiss You Til You Weep, sung by Paul himself and taken from the Men With Brooms (movie) soundtrack. Beautiful couple whose brilliant performances, good works, and integrity are all a part of why I would consider them both national treasures...
