O*****orn and McSwain dance to Cajun music. The Big Easy (film) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Big Easy (1987) is an American neo-noir crime film directed by Jim McBride and written by Daniel Petrie Jr. The executive producer of the motion picture was Mort Engelberg and the cinematographer was Affonso Beato.The film was later adapted for a television series for two seasons on the USA Network (1996–1997). The film stars Dennis Quaid, Ellen Barkin, John Goodman, Ned Beatty, among others. It tells the story of how New Orleans police lieutenant Remy McSwain (Quaid) and Louisiana district attorney Anne O*****orne (Barkin) investigate mob violence, possible police corruption, and in the process learn to deal with their very different personalities. The action takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana and was shot on location. Plot This is a dramatic film that combines elements of comedy, particularly in the wordplay between characters. The protagonist, Remy McSwain is a police lieutenant detective with a Cajun-Irish family background who investigates the murder of a local mobster. His investigation makes him suspect that members of the New Orleans police force may be involved, but he can't be sure. Enter Anne O*****orn, a state district attorney, who is sent to investigate alleged police corruption in New Orleans and soon meets Detective McSwain. On his prodding, they go out to Tipitina's for dinner and the restaurant owner (Gailard Sartain) refuses to accept their money, as is the norm when Remy eats there. So, after a couple of deliberate winks and a loud introduction from Remy, "Have you met Ann O*****ourne from the DISTRICT ATTORNEY's office?," he's given the check. Straight and narrow Anne accuses Remy of being on the take, and he accuses her of not understanding how the system in New Orleans works. Remy explains, "Just relax, darlin'. This is the 'Big Easy.' Folks have a certain way o' doin' things down here." Since both are hard-headed individuals they quickly clash, fight, and fall in love. Soon, however, McSwain gets caught accepting payoffs in an FBI sting. O*****orne has the burden of prosecuting him, which complicates their new relationship. With a little help from his police friends, the evidence is lost and McSwain beats the rap, but their new love affair is dead for the moment. After the trial and at a Cajun dance she has been quasi-kidnapped to attend, she says to Remy: Anne: You're a cop for God's sake, you're supposed to uphold the law, but instead you bend it and twist it and sell it. I saw you take that bribe and, and resist arrest and tamper with evidence and perjure yourself under oath. Remy: Don't forget I ran a red light too, huh. Anne: You still think it's funny, don't you? Why don't you just face it, Remy? You're not one of the good guys anymore. Yet, they finally agree to work together to solve the crime and, in the process, get to like each other again. As the film credits roll, we see Remy in a tuxedo and Anne in a white wedding dress dancing to Cajun music in their hotel room after their wedding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Easy_(1987_film)#Plot ******************************************************************************************
