The English language version of “Guide” (1965)!
This was the first screen version of “Guide”, with a script by Pearl S. Buck and directed by Tad Danielewski.
Waheeda Rehman was chosen as Best Actress at the Chicago Film Festival for her portrayal of Rosie (which seems so much closer to the book than in the Hindi film), but for some obscure reason, Dev Anand never told her, and she only learned about it by chance...
Also for obscure reasons, this film can’t be traced and watched! My personal theory is that Dev put the available copies in some trunk in his attic, to promote the Hindi version (with the heroic Raju, evil Marco and damsel-in-distress Rosie) only :P
I don’t know why bobbytalkscinema thinks this is a bad film. I would sell half my soul for a glimpse of Waheeda as the rather complex book Rosie!
