A Passage To India (2-Disc Collector's Edition)

Description Set Contains: Before Merchant Ivory took on A Room with a View and Howard's End, David Lean (1908-1991) adapted E.M.

Forster's more difficult 1924 novel A Passage to India (actor/director Richard Wilson describes it as "almost un-filmable").

Nominated for 11 Academy Awards--composer Maurice Jarre and actress Dame Peggy Ashcroft won Oscars for their work--Forster's final book provides the material for Lean's last movie.

This two-disc set grants the intimate epic the context it deserves.

The seven featurettes on the second disc, which play collectively as one documentary, cover cultural and artistic matters.

Participants include James Fox (Fielding), Nigel Havers (Ronny), Art Malik (Ali), and producer Richard Goodwin, who offers the erudite commentary on disc one.
