Greetings from
For some years I have been trying to
identify one of the TV programmes that appeared in the 1963 series The Indian
Tales of Rudyard Kipling. My aim has been to establish if the programme is based
upon a particular Kipling story.
I don’t know the name of the
programme. The story line has to do with a refined young woman who is
curious to the point of fascination by what I took was a ‘house of ill
repute’. Ultimately she is drawn into visiting the brothel (?) in disguise
during the night, returning at dawn to her own residence. Eventually after
many such occasions she succumbs to a disfiguring disease that results in her
being unable to return to her home and thus becomes a self imposed prisoner in
the brothel. This may be just one of the themes of the programme but I
sense it was the prime one.
Are you able to identify the
programme or the title of the Kipling story it was taken from?
Alternatively, to direct me to a source that may know the answer? The web
site that lists the series does not have a synopsis for every one of the 25
programmes and none of the titles ring a bell with
me.
I will be grateful for any
assistance you can offer.
Regards and
thanks.
