There is that strange special feel - watching something that you remember from over 60 years ago... :)

I liked it, and did not find the music too much or irritating, the main story is strong enough and songs limited - unlike in the later Indian films, where they tend to dominate weak story line.

Will try to locate some other films that you recommended - thank you!

I saw an old movie Hum Dono (We Two) again after 50 years, on Youtube. I was shattered with nostalgic sorrow. It is a very good movie, not too many songs but a few good ones, good acting, good story but sad.

Best Wishes

Bill

        Only in Hindi.
        
        But by clicking on other Youtube suggestions, we cam across the other marvel we did not see before: Visconti's The Witches with Silvana Mangano.

        Sorry you couldnt find subtitled ones. Good you could run into Silvano Mangano.
        
        Hindi is the language of the North and we in the south did not understand the conversation of Hindi Movies. We guessed from the gestures and the body language. But we could learn the songs. I sang the songs at some functions without knowing what I was saying! I still dont know the whole meaning.
        
        There are many Hindi movies for sale or rent at Amazon.
        
        Best Wishes
