Apparently, "Louisiana Story" was funded by Standard Oil as a public relations film. As such, they got their money's worth when it came to the cinematography. It has some of the nicest black & white footage of a film of its era....and you could tell they really wanted to make a nice film. But, on the other hand, the story is duller than dirt and the plot seems practically non-existent at times. As a result, I don't recommend people see it unless they are interested in filming and great cinematography. Otherwise, its semi-documentary style plot is not much fun to watch and is actually a chore to enjoy.
Review of Louisiana Story
Louisiana Story
(1948)
Gorgeous cinematography...and a story duller than watching paint dry.
