Palais Royale (alternative titles Smoke Screen or Smokescreen) is a 1988 Canadian comedy film.
This dark crime comedy is set in 1959 where Gerald Price (Matt Craven) is a newcomer to Toronto.
Meanwhile, Michael Dattalico (Dean Stockwell) is eager to expand his organized crime business in Toronto.
[2][3] Much of the action takes place in the art deco dance hall of the title, a historic building set on the shores of Lake Ontario.
