This afternoon, TCM has been showing Remains of the Day (1993) a Merchant Ivory film nominated for 8 Academy Awards, w Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, James Fox, Christopher Reeves. Followed by the wonderful A Passage To India (1984) @ 5pm ET - David Leans final film, nominated for 11 Academy Awards, starring Judy Davis, James Fox, Dame Peggy Ashcroft. Both are excellent films, the first set just prior to WWII, involving possible espionage with Nazi sympathizers in England. The second set prior to WWI, depicting the British Raj in India,in all its questionable glory, along with the complex Anglo-Indian relations as 2 women newly out from London try to bridge the gap, with tragic results.
