Goldenrod, also retitled Glory Days in some releases, is a Canadian drama film directed by Harvey Hart and released in 1976. Based on the novel by Herbert Harker, 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.
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The film had a brief theatrical run in Toronto in 1976, but was withdrawn from theatres after the filmmakers secured a deal with CBS, which aired it as a television film in 1977. Hart won the Canadian Film Award for Best Director in 1976.
