Re: Re: Re: Re: allan lomax's film about cajuns

Neat film....when was it produced?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: allan lomax's film about cajuns

The video release was 1990, but since in the film Lomax states in one instance that Dennis McGee was 91 at the time, that would have been around 1984 or 1985 that this was filmed, I think.

It may have been over several years. Two girls that were in my high school class (including my old girlfriend) were in it and we graduated in 82, I was guessing that part (the Tournoi) was in around 80 or 81.

I did some looking on the net and found out that you are exactly right. The segments were taped over several years. The actual airdate of the program was sometime in early 1990, by which time McGee was no longer around.
