- Paperback Hero (1973 film)
"Paperback Hero" is a 1973 Canadian movie, directed by Peter Pearson, which starred Keir Dullea and Elizabeth Ashley. It is set in Saskatchewan and portrays the life of a big-fish minor-league hockey player in a little-pond town.
It was originally titled "Last of the Big Guns", but was renamed to reflect the lyrics of Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind", which was featured on the soundtrack.
It won the Canadian Film Awards in 1973 for Film Editing, Overall Sound, and Cinematography. [Citation | title = ACCT - Canadian Awards History Search| url = http://www.academy.ca/hist/history.cfm?stitle=Paperback+Hero&awyear=0&winonly=0&awards=4&rtype=2&curstep=4 | accessdate = 2007-05-27]
