	[[File:Montreal main.jpg\|thumb\|400px\|''Montreal Main'' by Frank Vitale, 1974]]		[[File:Montreal main.jpg\|thumb\|400px\|''Montreal Main'' by Frank Vitale, 1974]]'''Montreal Main''' is a Canadian docu-fiction film, released in 1974. The film was directed by Frank Vitale [fr], and written by Vitale, Allan Moyle and Stephen Lack.

	~~'''~~Montreal ~~Main''' description from [https://en~~.~~m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Main the Wikipedia article]:~~		The film centers on Frank (Vitale) and Bozo (Moyle), two friends of ambiguous sexuality living in the bohemian arts community of Montreal, Quebec. Frank develops a friendship with Johnny (John Sutherland), a 12-year-old boy, while Bozo is developing a new relationship with Jackie (Jackie Holden), a friend of Johnny's parents. Although Frank's relationship with Johnny is platonic and non-sexual, the common stereotype of gay men as pedophiles prone to sexually preying on underage boys begins to color the community's and Johnny's parents' judgement of the friendship, driving a wedge between them as even Frank is increasingly driven to question his own motivations.
