enthusiasm for the screening of the new Merchant Ivory production Gaach, at Warner Bros off the Champs Elysees, in the presence of our Ambassador, Mr Sethi, Ismail Merchant and the director of the film, a French student of cinema, Catherine Berge. The film presents Soumitra Chatterji, Satyajit Ray's hero of over 15 films including Apur Sansar, Charulata, Devi, clippings from which are effectively used to narrate the life of this extraordinary stage and screen actor.
