Claudine's Return is a 1998 drama film starring Christina Applegate. It was filmed almost entirely on the American island of Tybee Island, Georgia with a few shots from the surrounding areas.
Production
The film had a budget of $2 million and was announced on June 17, 1997, being shot shortly afterwards.[1] It was Christina Applegate's first role after her long-running Fox sitcom Married... with Children ended in June 1997. The film's rights were acquired by Miramax, an indie-focused subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.
Release
The film premiered at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival in April 1998. It was released as Kiss of Fire on VHS and DVD by Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
In 2010, Disney sold off Miramax, which they had owned since 1993, with Qatari company beIN Media Group subsequently taking the studio over. In April 2020, ViacomCBS (now known as Paramount Skydance) bought a 49% stake in the studio from beIN, with this deal giving Paramount the rights to Miramax's film library,[2] including Claudine's Return.[3] The film has been made available on Amazon Prime and other digital platforms.[3]
