Renoir had met a family of refugees who had come all the way from Pakistan by boat. And they had all sorts of fantastic adventures on the way, he said. I am sure their story would make a very good film. I said India was full of such stories which simply cried out for filming. And no doubt they are going to be made, said Renoir with naive conviction. I said, No, because the Indian director seems to find more inspiration in the slick artificiality of a Hollywood film than in the reality around him. Ah, the American film..., Renoir shook his head sadly, I know its a bad influence. - Ray, Renoir in Calcutta.
