The altar in the former Christ Church (1819) in Saint-André-d'Argenteuil, Quebec, Canada.
It was erected on land donated by Sir John Johnson, Seigneur of Argenteuil.
Canada's third Prime Minister, Sir John Joseph Caldwell Abbott, was born in Saint-André-d'Argenteuil in 1821, the son of Rev. Joseph Abbott (1790-1862) (an Anglican missionary) and served as Prime Minister from June 16, 1891 to November 24, 1892.
He was Canada's first native-born prime minister. Abbott was also the great-grandfather of Canadian actor Christopher Plummer.
As per my chat with a tour guide, this old church only celebrates mass once a year, in November.
Directed by Terry Gilliam
Starring Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt, Christopher Plummer

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER
Christopher Plummer and Lord Richard Attenborough work the red carpet at the TIFF Gala screening of "Closing the Ring" outside Roy Thomson Hall in between Monsoons that drove most of the crowd away.
Christopher Plummer was dubbed in the released film, but here's his own vocal track, with Charmian Carr.
From his autobiography, "In Spite of Myself":
"To further shake me up, our first recording session was upon us. Daunting is not a strong enough word to describe it. Julie and I stood side by side in a small glassed-in cubicle facing two microphones. Surrounding our prison cage sat 75 musicians like hungry jackals waiting to pounce, led by their keeper, Irwin Kostal.
Warbling softly into a mike is far more difficult than singing full out in a theatre as I was later to discover. One is much more likely to catch and collect "frogs" in the throat, whereas projecting usually gets rid of them. I tried so hard not to look like a complete basket case. Julie, sensing my nerves, took hold of my hand and held it throughout the session. It must have taken her days to recover the use of it afterwards, I had squeezed it so hard.
No matter how diligently I'd slugged away at my lessons, I was still untrained as a singer. To stay on a long-sustained note was, for me, akin to a drunk trying to walk the straight white line, whereas you can bet the very first cry that Julie let forth as she emerged from her mother's womb was in perfect pitch! Listening to the playback, there was no disputing we were on separate planets. In the end, Robert Wise managed to hire someone to take care of my elongated passages, and the balance was somewhat restored."
Bill Lee was the "someone" who was hired, and he replaced all of Plummer's singing, not just the long notes.

I met Christopher Plummer at Politics and Prose in Washington DC in November 2008. He gave a witty, anecdotal and very entertaining talk concerning his career. He was a gentleman and took great care to talk with every person who came up for an autograph. He even let me sit next to him for someone to take this picture of us together.

As a joke we had made up T Shirts that said "Poursuivante - Commercial Pirating - Reasonable" and gave one of them to Christoper Plummer. He then made up T Shirt like the one he's wearing here and gave it to us. He was a true gentleman and very pleasant to be around.
