Seducing Doctor Lewis (2003)
La grande séduction
A much-needed boost, in the form of a new factory, is promised to the residents of the tiny fishing village St. Marie-La-Mauderne, provided they can lure a doctor to take up full-time residency on the island. Inspired, the villagers devise a scheme to make Dr. Christopher Lewis a local.

Seducing Doctor Lewis is a 2003 Quebec comedy film, starring Raymond Bouchard, Benoît Brière, David Boutin and Lucie Laurier. It is the first film directed by Jean-François Pouliot. The script was written by Ken Scott.
Production
Producer Roger Frappier wanted to film Seducing Doctor Lewis in Newfoundland. However, the film was eventually shot in Harrington Harbour, Quebec, Canada, an island with a population of about 300. The film's producers felt the island looked too pretty to fill the role of a fishing village experiencing hard times, so they worsened its appearance in the movie.
