This is a film that I saw on telly a few days ago. I didn't catch the first five minutes but I watched the remaining three and a half hours of it. It's the story of a girl called Queenie who is half Indian and half White growing up in a segregated Indian society. Constant war, fighting and ethnic cleansing force her grandmother to send her running from India where upon leaving for and reaching Europe, she falls into a wrong kind of relationship with a family member to whom she loses her innocence and decides to disguise herself as a White woman. She changes her name and becomes a dancer and slowing she begins to climb up the social and financial ladder. She meets a billionaire tycoon (played by Kirk Douglas) with whom they form a steady alliance and to whom she falls hopelessly in love with and he loves her too. Of course there is the young photographer who falls in love with her to create a love triangle and she loves him too as a friend until she realises how much and the way he loves her. Mia Sara plays Queenie as an adult and I've heard that this film is based on the true life story of Merle Oberon. It's a must see for everyone and is overdue to be reacted by either Hollywood or Bollywood.
