Dulcima is a 1969 Canadian television film directed and co-written by Matt Segal. ^[1] The film stars Jackie Burroughs as Dulcima, a carefree girl who begins working on a run-down farm in rural Ontario owned by the miserly Mr. Parker ( John Colicos). The farmer quickly becomes enamoured of the pretty and lively girl and invites her to stay, but their relations become strained when he discovers her affections for a surveyor visiting from the city ( Chuck Shamata).

The story was adapted from a novella of the same name by H. E. Bates, ^[2] which was also later adapted into the British feature film Dulcima in 1971.

The film aired on CBC Television in 1969. ^[1] At the Canadian Film Awards that year, Burroughs won the award for Best Actress in a Non-Feature, and Colicos was nominated for Best Actor in a Non-Feature. ^[3]
