Starring: Victor Banerjee and Amanda Donohoe
An unemployed Indian engineer emigrates to England to find work and ends up impersonating a doctor to win the attention of a young woman
This romantic comedy was adapted from the 1975 Roderick Mann novel of the same name. It includes a scene filmed at London Marylebone station, impersonating Calcutta in India, complete with hundreds of extras in hot climate marginal clothing freezing to death in the depths of a London winter!! The railway carriage is likely a recreation for the scene, but there is an inadvertent and all too brief glimpse in the background of a BR blue and grey-liveried coach.
