      • Passport to Adventure, later retitled Passport, was a Canadian movie television series which aired on CBC Television from 1965 to 1967.


      Premise


      The series would present American and British films of the 1930s through to the 1960s subdivided for broadcast into serial format during each week. The series can be perceived as a viewer's digest of some of the best films ever to have been produced up to that time. Episodes included interviews with actors and film experts such as Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Elwood Glover, Arthur Treacher and Willard Van Dyke.


      Scheduling


      This half-hour series was broadcast Mondays to Thursdays at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern) from 18 October 1965 to 30 June 1966. The series was retitled Passport for its second season from 17 October 1966 to 30 June 1967. As Elwy Yost explained at the beginning of the first episode of the second season, the title had been shortened from Passport to Adventure to Passport because Yost wanted to start including movies that were not just from the adventure genre. Taken together, both seasons can be seen as a Master Class in cinema.
