Helen, Queen Of The Nautch Girls


"Helen, Queen Of The Nautch Girls
...1973 31 minute Merchant-Ivory documentary on Helen. It's arrogant; it's condescending; it's wrong in places; but for Helen fans it's still fascinating.
"Thanks tommydan1

I totally agree with Tommydan1. The commentary in this film is so obnoxious, it's beyond belief. The footage is awesome and there is some great interviews with Helen. It's also interesting to see the condescending attitude that was taken in this film. In some ways, the criticism of the films reminds me of the type of things people said about rock and roll back in the 50's and early 60's.
