Review
Two early James Ivory films; Shakespeare Wallah portrays a cross racial affair within a post-Raj dramatics group taking Shakespeare to the natives. Autobiograhy of a Princess follows the daughter of an exiled Maharajah and his former tutor reminiscing about the Raj through watching home movies, actual 16mm footage shot in Jodhpur, Jaipu, and Bikaner.
