Format:VHS Tape
A big British picture, and one of the greatest and saddest love stories captured on film starring Dirk Bogarde and Yoko Tani (who incredibly were to die within only weeks of each other in 1999)
This is a very rare and hard to find title on both VHS and DVD - a beautiful story set against the scenic backdrop of India. This movie will appeal to both romance lovers and lovers of war films alike, as untypical of this genre; this film includes some action for the guys!
Dirk Bogarde is at his most handsome here, and plays one's ideal charming dream of a man perfectly, for any young girl wishing to experience love for the very first time. When I first saw this, I just longed for an affair, and to fall in love with a man just the way 'Michael' is portrayed so divinely by Bogarde - he is everything that embodies the perfect suitor; charming, gentle - but without appearing 'weak'.
This is the 'quintessential' type of movie that would be shown often on a Sunday afternoon during the 60s - beautifully shot in Eastman Color, and with a beautiful sad song for its theme that brings one to the brink of tears each time it is heard in the background... This film has a dramatic opening scene that will immediately capture the audience - whatever their tastes.
Co-stars; Donald Pleasence and Ronald Lewis with Anthony Bushell who plays the Brigadier so excellently with such compassion.

I purchased this VHS tape because I am a fan of Richard Mason. Unfortunately the
tape does not play on my recorder. I wrote the seller and he did not respond. I then
rated the item as I did now as poor based on not being able to use it and the buyer
failure to respond to me. I then received two short notes from the seller. The first,
requesting that I remove the bad mark in return for trying to find a solution to the
problem and the second, less than 24 hours later, never mind, they removed the bad
mark. I would very much like to see the movie version of "The wind cannot read".

A beautiful film. Seems to be a forgotten Dirk Bogarde movie
29 Nov 2005
Format:VHS Tape
The movie seems to be forgotten all over the place and released in 1958. The movie is a love story between a RAF officer ( Dirk Bogarde ,good guys) and a beautiful japanese girl ( huba huba, Yoko Tani) set in india during world war 2. The movie has many memorable moments and is great for romantics. I like the movie alot. I get annoyed when people spell out the plot in there reviews. Its a simple plot but good. It's best to just watch the movie and get surpised by it to get the full emotional relishment out of it. A very watchable movie. I've watched it a few times.
