True Confections is a 1991 Canadian comedy-drama film written and directed by Gail Singer.
[1] Based on Sondra Gotlieb's Stephen Leacock Award-winning novel True Confections, it stars Leslie Hope as Verna Miller, a young Jewish woman growing up in the 1950s who rebels against the rigid gender role assigned to women in her era due to her ahead-of-her-time sensibilities and life aspirations.
[2] Rather than a strict adaptation of Gotlieb's novel, Singer added some material to the screenplay that was more reflective of her own experiences in that era.
[3] The film's cast also includes Judah Katz, Chandra West, Jeff Pustil, Jill Riley, Stewart Bick and Daniel Kash.
