Partners is a Canadian thriller drama film, directed by Don Owen and released in 1976.[1] The film stars Hollis McLaren as Heather Grey, the daughter of business magnate John Grey (Denholm Elliott); when she takes over leadership of the company after her father's death, she becomes a target for the romantic interests of Paul (Michael Margotta), a corporate spy for an American company eyeing a hostile takeover of the firm.[2]

The Ontario Censor Board forced Owen to cut 35 seconds of a sex scene from the film.[3]

The film has most commonly been analyzed as an allegory for Canadian nationalism.[1] It was not well received by critics,[1][4] but was a Canadian Film Award nominee for Best Feature Film at the 27th Canadian Film Awards in 1976.[3]
