The own Jean Renoir told on bonus material that was advised by many friends that will be hard to adapt this book to big screen and it returns enough profits, due the subject doesn't has any commercial appeals, somehow Renoir followed his feeling, he offers to Margaret Rumer Godden the writer that he was willing develops the book into a movie, Margaret could accepts in two conditions only, firstly the movie should be shot at India and she will be an adviser, then Renoir readily accepts, the plot is about the life nearest on a large river at India, their ancient traditions, their several Gods and having the main plot over a British family that has Harriet a young dreamer girl, her fancy friend Veleria and finally a young mixed daughter Melanie of a white man with a native woman, suddenly appears a lame American soldier Captain John, all them falling in love to him, among others minor events, a bit idyllic and pondering picture, slow pace neither, wasn't allowed to all tastes, unknown for mostly, including myself, although charming and some pristine feelings and humanity!!
