Movie Haiku:Ellen Barkin’s wonderful as straight-arrow ADA Ann Osborn, but this is Dennis Quaid’s show. Irrepressible detective Remy MCSwain, crown prince of the New Orleans Police Department, enters the pantheon of great American heroes. Thoroughly enjoyable comic romp that introduced Middle America to the vitality of Cajun culture & Zydeco music.
