What happens

The Apprentice (French: Fleur bleue) is a 1971 Quebec-made comedy-drama film directed by Larry Kent, starring Susan Sarandon and Steve Fiset. Although the original title literally translates to English as Blue Flower, it is better known in English as The Apprentice, which is a better translation of the idiom used in the title. It is one of the very few Canadian films that is functionally bilingual, shot in both English and French, with the appropriate dialogue dubbed for the appropriate audience.
