Short description
Lt. Dave Robicheaux, a detective in New Iberia, Louisiana, is trying to link the murder of a local hooker to New Orleans mobster Julie (Baby Feet) Balboni, who is co-producer of a Civil War film. At the same time, after Elrod Sykes, the star of the film, reports finding another corpse in the Atchafalaya Swamp near the movie set, Robicheaux starts another investigation, believing the corpse to be the remains of a black man who he saw being murdered 35 years before.
What's left behind the scenes
- The shooting scene near the bar was filmed near a real bar that existed from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Cockfights were also regularly held there, continuing until the bar closed a few years before the official ban on cockfighting in Louisiana. Since then, the building has stood abandoned.
- Sid Herbert was originally supposed to play the former sheriff, but Gary Grubbs appeared on screen instead. As a kind of compensation, posters supporting Sid Herbert's re-election as sheriff are repeatedly visible on screen.
- Disagreements between director Bertrand Tavernier and the American producers of the thriller escalated to the point where the producers categorically forbade composer Marco Beltrami from even speaking to Tavernier. Nevertheless, Beltrami met with Tavernier in Paris and gave him recordings of two melodies (which were not included in the producer's version of the film) for the version of the film prepared for international release.
- At the director's request, Tommy Lee Jones repeatedly made revisions to the script, although his name is not mentioned in the credits as a screenwriter.
- The film exists in two versions. One version was approved by producer Michael Fitzgerald for release in the US market, and the other, which is 15 minutes longer, was approved by director Bertrand Tavernier for international release.
