Sounds as if it's like that old hockey mini-series from the 1980's
called "He Shoots! He Scores (aka "Lance et compte") in that it's been
filmed twice, with French and English dialogue for release in Quebec and
the rest of the world. :)

Actually, no, at least not according to the writeup in yesterday's paper
about it. The movie is bilingual, with characters speaking in their
native tongues throughout, meaning characters like Richard & Beliveau
speak French while characters like Irvin speak English (presumably,
bilingual-speaking characters would flip back & forth depending on who
they're speaking with). In Quebec, the English dialog was subtitled in
French; in the rest of Canada it'll be the opposite.
