A nice early Merchant Ivory production, about the wife (Greta Scacchi) of a British army officer in 1920s colonial India who becomes involved with the local Nawab, and her great-neice (Julie Christie) who travels to India in search of herself and information about her great-aunt. The period pieces play better than the modern day scenes, which are pretty dated, but all of the acting is great and there are some wonderful 1920s outfits.
