Thanks, I got to do some reading. Turns out everyone was a complete novice for this first film.The cameraman was a still photographer who had never photographed a scene. Ray had never directed a scene. The child actors were not tested for their roles. And Ravi Shanker was an unheard of novice (Ebert).
But the initial scenes were so impressive that they won meager financial support for the rest of the film (Ebert)
The "auntie" in the film had been an actress many decades previously. Ray sought her out and she was living in a brothel when he found her. She was 80 when the film started and really the most extraordinary performer in the trilogy (Ebert).
The actress in the 3rd film, who I said was beautiful was only 14 (oops). "She projected exquisite shyness and tenderness....sweetness and love shine through her eyes..innocent delight." (Ebert)
