James Mason

A Technicolor fever dream of impossible love, heady folk mythology, and heartstopping color, Albert Lewin’s vivid surrealist fairytale—starring a luminous Ava Gardner—is unlike any other. Lensed by Jack Cardiff and with stage sets by Man Ray, enjoy the visual feast in a ravishing recent restoration.

Next to the always excellent James Mason, Madhur Jaffrey is exquisitely regal as an exiled princess clinging on to a golden past. Fashioned with luxurious objects whose faded glamor aches with nostalgia, this Merchant Ivory chamber piece flickers with memories of an India that no longer exists.
