Trivial Pursuit 143









Jean Renoir














Director Jean Renoir's entrancing first colour feature ‘The River’ (1951) was based on a novel by Rumer Godden and was shot entirely on location in India.














"A film about India without elephants and tiger hunts" -- This was how Jean Renoir described what drew him to 'The River'.






Which eminent Indian filmmaker was an assistant director of Jean Renoir on this project ?
