so here’s a decidedly not-meh song. i am not a fan of ‘oldies’ by default, but there are some stellar examples of great music and great poetry, combined with very powerful (though now cliched) cinematography that have graced the indian silver screen and this is probably among the very top examples. It helps that the music composer and the singer are both at the heights of their prowess and provide the aural impact while the actors on screen do full justice to the song as well.
Wow, when was that made? It could easily been done in late 50’s Hollywood, just drop Natalie Wood in…
That movie was released also in the late 50’s :) it was a huge success, not without controversies and sadly the actress died shortly after the movie released…
Really good song and clip, aif.
Hope yer blues clear up.
Wikipedia says 1972. But that it took 14 years to shoot.
didnt think to check wikipedia as i was going on parents’ recollections…sad to hear that the actress died after making this movie:(
the whole movie is a masterpiece
This one is awesome too:
Sorry to learn you are feeling down.
Hopefully the new week will bring some cheer. Drop a line if you need anything. <3
