Dear Revi 

Well written notes. What about the famous comedian "Jerry Lewis" ? As you said after the Saturday English Movie we use to enact the same thing in the Balabharatham meeting the next day. Oh those days were the real days. How much we had enjoyed. All our thanks to the Great Institution Alind. Even if we did not understand any dialogue in English we used to just say "hi hyum why etc. through our nose as if we were speaking chaste English". Even I dont remember the names of most of the films screened at Alind auditorium. But after completing my college education I happened to see the movie Mckenna's Gold in which Omar Sherief acted. I can still remember some of the final scenes where the three persons stationed at equidistant. Yest I also pray to god for his soul to rest in peace.

Omar Sherif

jose thomas <js_...@yahoo.com>: Jul 11 04:28PM -0700 Dear all,   When I heard the news of the legendery actor Omar Sheif's sad demise the other day, my memories flew back to the late 60's, and those Saturday's 6.30 pm16mm movie shows of our good old Al-ind auditorium. Hollywood actors like John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Clint Eastwood, Anthony Quinn alongwith Omar Sherif were few heroes whom we would copy on for the next few days after watching their movies. Few may recall that next day after seeing "Harry Black and the Tiger" almost everyone was walking with a limp because the hero had a limp in that movie.The thick moustache of Omar Sherif was somthing coveted by everyone those days. An English actor with a moustache was a rare seen for our generation then. Though he had a thick accent unlike other hollywood actors we had no clue that he was originally from Egypt. May be we thought, that was his style of delivering English dialouges, and more over back then who understood English movie dialouges anyway. We were lucky to get a chance to watch their movies and able to know about these great actors in our childhood itself. Thanks ALIND and may his soul rest in peace.   Revi
