All in Good Taste
1983 film by Anthony Kramreither
All in Good Taste (originally known as It's All in Good Taste) is a Canadian comedy film produced in 1981, but not shown in theatres until 1983.
The film was produced, directed, and co-written by Anthony Kramreither, who was inspired by his own experience as a producer whose creative ambitions had been eclipsed by the commercial imperative to keep his Brightstar Pictures studio operating by making low-budget B-movies.
Premise
The young filmmaker, Timothy (Jonathan Welsh), has a screenplay about an orphan and his dog who are in search of a loving family. Film investors force Timothy into making a movie with sex and violence.
Role of Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey plays a small silent role as the naked cameraman Ralph Parker. After Carrey became a major international film star, however, subsequent video releases of the film emphasized him as its star over most of the actual main cast.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “All in Good Taste” as 1983 film by Anthony Kramreither. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 1983 film by Anthony Kramreither. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2745993. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981 and 1983.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
