Jerry Dantzic, then 45, a photography professor, was picking over the odds and ends in the Freeport, Me., flea market when his eye caught an old photograph of some 2,000 Protestant ministers. He bought the picture and took it back to his Brooklyn studio. Looking at it with a magnifying glass, he marveled at the tack-sharp faces and the lack of dis tortion at the ends of the long horizontal photograph.

In his screenplay Malle crosses Violet's path with that of a photographer named E.J. Bellocq, an actual figure who shot a series of photographs of Storyville prostitutes in 1912. (Here he arrives to take pictures and ends up living with Violet and finally wedding her.)
