Overview
Sous le signe du lion is a Quebec television series comprising thirty 30-minute episodes, directed by Jean-Pierre Sénécal and broadcast in 1961. A two-season remake was broadcast in 1997 and in 2000. The original screeplay was written by Françoise Loranger. Hélène Pedneault adapted it in 1997 and Guy Fournier in 2000. The 1997 adaptation was directed by Maude Martin, and the 2000 by Yvon Trudel. Faced with the daring and modern script, Radio-Canada refused to broadcast it at first, but changed its mind a few years later.
