Goldenrod, also retitled Glory Days in some releases, is a Canadian drama film directed by Harvey Hart and released in 1976.[1] Based on the novel by Herbert Harker,[2] the film stars Tony Lo Bianco as Jesse Gifford, a former rodeo champion who must take responsibility for raising his two sons as a single parent after his wife Shirley (Gloria Carlin) leaves him.[1]

The film's cast also includes Patricia Hamilton, Ed McNamara, Donald Pleasence and Donnelly Rhodes.

The film had a brief theatrical run in Toronto in 1976, but was withdrawn from theatres after the filmmakers secured a deal with CBS, which aired it as a television film in 1977.[3] Hart won the Canadian Film Award for Best Director in 1976.[3]
