    • Trivia
      Features the Cajun music and singing of Michael Doucet and Beausoleil.
    • Goofs
      Brahma cattle appear in this film, set in 1859, even though they were not introduced to Louisiana until 1861. The producers were aware of this anachronism, but doubted that many audience members would notice or mind.
    • Quotes
      • Priest: ...and for your penance say the Rosary five times. Now make a good Act of Contrition.
      • Belizaire: FIVE Rosaries? Father, I have never in my life had to say so much as three Rosaries, let alone five. One, two at the most ...
      • Priest: Belizaire, the penance comes from God. It's not something that you negotiate.
