The Assam Garden (1985)
Country: GB
Technical: col 90m
Director: Mary McMurray
Cast: Deborah Kerr, Madhur Jaffrey, Alec McCowen
Synopsis:
A widow prepares her late Indian tea planter husband's spectacular garden for a 'collection' to be published, and gets some help from an Indian immigrant living on the nearby estate.
Review:
It is Jaffrey rather than Kerr who delights in this film - the latter's portrayal merely recalls so many others, such as Miss Jelks in Night of the Iguana. The garden is beautifully filmed but the final twist goes almost for nought.
