Interesting facts

The Party is a Canadian drama film, written and directed by Pierre Falardeau. The film stars Charlotte Laurier, Julien Poulin, Gildor Roy and was released in 1990.

Production

Producer Bernadette Payeur said the striptease scene was filmed at the old Saint-Vincent-de-Paul penitentiary. In the scene Charlotte Laurier strips completely naked in front of dozens of extras, many of whom were ex-convicts. "It wasn't always easy to keep them quiet!" - Payeur said. Falardeau said none of the action seen in the film was "invented, every scene is true", and that Silmard was a witness to it all.
