| | The Films of David Lean on Laserdisc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) |
 | | The movie version, adapted, directed, and edited by David Lean, is an admirable piece of work. |
 | | Lean doesn't get in over his head by trying for the fall range of the hook's mysticism, but Forster got to him. |
 | | The movie shows us the virtual impossibility of communication between the subject people and the master-race British, and between the Muslims and the Hindus, at the same time that we observe the efforts of two Englishwomen to bridge the gulfs--to get to know the Indians socially. |
