Louisiana (1984 film)

[2] Maurice Denuzière's books Louisiane and Fausse Rivière were adapted into a screenplay by Étienne Pèrier, Dominique Fabre, and Charles E.

[2] Margot Kidder, whose first feature role was in a film produced by Kemeny (The Best Damn Fiddler from Calabogie to Kaladar), was cast to play the lead.

[5] The film was shot from 5 April to 31 July 1983, in Saint Francisville, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Paris at a cost of $15 million.

Jacques Demy was the director until 3 May, when he was replaced by Philippe de Broca and left uncredited.

There was bad weather on the first day of shooting, a flood that damaged the $500,000 1830s village set, and multiple alligators were near in the house.

Super Channel filed an injunction to prevent a bank from paying Kemeny and Héroux's line of credit.
