Coronet at Dawn

In my memory the title of the movie is "Coronet at Dawn", though the internet assures me that it was really called "Cornet at Night" and based on a short story of the same name by one Sinclair Ross (who can now be joined with Upton Sinclair and Sinclair Lewis, in my always confused 'Sinclair file'). For some reason I really want to see this short movie again, even though I remember little about it, and haven't seen it since I was in elementary school. It, along with a few other movies like "Paddle to the Sea" and "The Red Balloon" were repeatedly shown to us during my Canadian Elementary school years.

Memory says that the movie is about a young boy who is supposed to hire a farm hand to help out on his family's farm. The boy is intimidated by the sight of the real farmhands and so he hires this soft looking guy instead. This would-be farmhand is unable to hande the farm work but endearingly plays his trumpet every night. I do not remember if there is some scene in which he proves his worthiness as a farmhand, but I guess I expect there was.

Viewing of this movie may explain why even today I have a lazy desire to hear a solo trumpet song, though I don't know of any such music.
