This acknowledgement of their dramatic origins has often led to criticism that these movies remain too rigidly anchored to the stage; too "stage-bound." Stage-Bound, the first extensive study of feature film adaptations of English Canadian and Québécois drama, challenges this reductive interpretation. André Loiselle demonstrates that theatricality is central to the meaning of these works. In the process, he reclaims these stage-bound films, which have generally been ignored by scholars.

"Loiselle's book enriches Canadian film studies and should help build bridges between the study of cinema and the study of theatre in Canada. In an area that has attracted little attention, Loiselle insightfully discusses significant films from the post-World War II period to the present. This act of recovery does us a service by bringing such films as La Petite Aurore l'enfant martyre, Ti-Coq, and Wedding in White back into critical view and making them objects of intensive analysis." Blaine Allan, Film Studies, Queen's University
