Waris Hussein shares his memories of directing the 1965 TV adaptation of EM Forster鈥檚 A Passage to India, describing the filming challenges and what it was like to work with a stellar cast.
In 1965, a young Waris Hussein was perhaps the only experienced Indian director working in British television and was horrified when he discovered that the 成人论坛 was planning a TV adaptation of EM Forster鈥檚 A Passage to India without him at the helm. As luck would have it, a twist of fate meant he did end up in the director鈥檚 chair. Waris shares fond memories of his experiences, describing the filming challenges involved in portraying a true sense of India, recalling what it was like working with a stellar cast that included the likes of Dame Sybil Thorndike, Cyril Cusak and Virginia McKenna, and outlining the pressure to do full justice to one of the great novels of the 20th century.
