Movie Description
An action packed romantic adventure, BHOWANI JUNCTION is an adaptation of the John Masters novel. This period film is a drama of chaos and revolt in which a young Anglo-Indian woman is forced to choose between her two races and twin allegiances when they are reflected in the men she loves. Ava Gardner plays Victoria Jones, a beautiful, half-caste young woman who returns to her homeland of India after World War II. She finds the country in a state of chaos, with the British military still occupying the land and Indians rioting to protest the foreigners' presence. When Victoria meets British colonel Rodney Savage (Stewart Granger), who is in charge of troops at Bhowani Junction; he promptly falls in love with her, however, she is in love with Patrick Taylor (Bill Travers), the Anglo-Indian rail superintendent. The film, which was shot on location (mostly in Pakistan) in CinemaScope, boasts a number of impressive, beautifully photographed sequences.

Notes
Theatrical release (New York City): May 24, 1956.

Shot mostly on location in Lahore, Pakistan.

Based on the novel by John Masters.

At the time of BHOWANI JUNCTION, Ava Gardner was MGM's most popular star.

While working on the script for BHOWANI JUNCTION, Cukor was also preparing to direct the play THE CHALK GARDEN.

The censors had trouble with the script and found lines such as "I jabbed him hard with my elbow, moaned, and bent forward" too suggestive.

The Indian roles were played by Europeans in make-up.

Editorial Reviews
"...[With] vintage Hollywood glamour....Cukor began to prove himself a master of color and CinemaScope..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (12/06/1991)
