Today's movies mark India Independence Day, the birthday of Alfred Hitchcock, and the Little League World Series.







The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935) is

especially about several British soldiers on
the frontier in India.  Yesterday, August 15
(1947) was India Independence Day and this
is our second India movie to mark that day.  This
is a critically acclaimed movie.
