Re: UK TV Film Recommendations

Another round of classic Indian films starting on Channel 4 tonight. That last round was incredible.
Busy day.


Five:
13:40
Lawrence of Arabia (Film)
Peter O'Toole is the eponymous hero who united the warring Arab tribes to take on the Turks in World War One and, in so doing, entered both the history books and the mythology of England's past. David Lean's multi-Oscar winning epic is one of cinema's most sumptuously-shot classics, and O'Toole brings to the role a hesitant demeanour that hints at Lawrence's sexual ambiguity while never masking his steely self-belief.
Director: David Lean
Starring: Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Omar Sharif, José Ferrer
(Editor's Choice, Subtitles, 1962, PG, 5 Star) (Get more information on this movie)

Chaudhvin Ka Chand (Film)
Channel 4 presents four Indian classic films 50 years since they were first made. The first is Guru Dutt's story of two friends, Aslam and Nawab who fall in love with the same girl, Jameela. Misunderstandings and plain bad luck drive the narrative and ultimately lead to tragedy but at the heart of the story is the importance of sacrifice and friendship, popular themes in Indian film. Colour photography came late to Indian cinema, and so it became the practice in many early 1960s films to include some song sequences in colour. The title song sung by Mohammed Rafi was filmed in colour and remains one of the most popular Hindi film songs ever. The next up in this short season is Jis Des Main Ganga Behti Ha i, which airs tomorrow night.
Director: M. Sadiq
Starring: Waheeda Rehman, Guru Dutt, Minoo Mumtaz, Johnny Walker, Mumtaz Begum
(Black and White, In Urdu/Hindi with English Subtitles, 1960, PG, 2 Star) (Get more information on this movie)
