      By Ivory, James  Jaffrey, Saeed, 1929-  Samar, Kareem  Sehgal, Zohra
       2005., General, Home Vision Entertainment Call No: DVD Fic Courtesans   Edition: Full screen version.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Merchant Ivory collectionSummary Note: Pavan Pool is an enclosed area of Bombay where the city's singing and dancing courtesans ply their trade. Crammed tenements house thousands of men playing up to the camera as they seek out forbidden pleasures - and the courtesans themselves, who appear more as entertainers than sex workers. It shows how young girls are groomed in the arts of singing, dancing, and by inference, seduction. The film is about a tradition with a special place in Indian society: the entertainment of paying customers - always men - by songstresses and dancers who perform in the classical Hindustani styles of the ancient "nautch" girls.

Daughter Ruth (Kyra Sedgwick-Behind the Red Door) leaves for the artistic bohemia of New York, more conventional Carolyn marries the 'wrong sort' of man, and brother Douglas (Robert Sean Leonard-Driven) joins the army. In an empty house, the Bridges' marriage shifts. Mr. Bridge grows more rigid. But Mrs. Bridge begins to wonder if her husband really loves her. Directed by James Ivory (A Room With A View, Howards End), Mr. & Mrs. Bridge offers a wryly emotional portrait of a marriage as it rides the tumultuous changes of 1930s and '40s America."--Container.
