« If adults are co-operative, children are uniformly delightful to work with. Gudrun Bjerring thinks so, at any rate—and she should know, having specialized in films for and about children for some time. Gudrun isn't terribly old herself, and she refuses to say she's a producer, really. She's just a junior. However, her name heads the list of the NFB Educational unit, and she has many films to her credit. [...] Gudrun uses her old name Bjerring on her films, though she's married to Morton Parker, also of the Film Board. They say it's a good thing if a film maker marries another addict, because it's so absorbing that your spouse is bound to be subjected to a lot of shop talk, and if he or she isn't interested, it could be difficult. Unlike the Cherrys [Evelyn Spice Cherry and Lawrence Cherry], the Parkers don't work in the same unit, though Morton wrote the commentary for Listen To The Prairies. When you meet Gudrun Bjerring, you can understand her success with children—and adults too. She is so completely poised that you can't imagine her being upset by any of the things that could, and usually do, go wrong in making films. She is also so serenely pretty that you might think she was the other kind of film star, the kind in front of the camera. »
