Ruby in Paradise is a 1993 film written and directed by Victor Nunez, starring Ashley Judd, Todd Field, Bentley Mitchum, Allison Dean, and Dorothy Lyman. An homage to Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, the film is a character study about a young woman who escapes her small town in Tennessee for a new life in coastal Florida. The film marks Judd's first starring role.

Production

When Victor Nuñez originally pitched the film to distributors, he found they were uninterested: "I was told flat outright -- and these were very reputable distributors of independent films -- 'no one is interested in a film about a female shop clerk in Panama City.' Now, you can say what they really were saying was 'shop clerk Panama City,' but the message was a woman, you know, as in the lead role," Nuñez said.

He considered changing the gender of the lead to a man, but didn't find the story sufficiently interesting to him, reasoning "For one thing and I think it's changing to some degree, American men, by and large, don't allow as many vulnerabilities to be acknowledged and to be explored."

Ruby in Paradise was filmed on Super 16 on location in Panama City, Florida at locations including Show N Tail gentleman's club and White Western Cabin.
