One of eight productions that Indian actor Saeed Jaffrey made with Merchant Ivory Productions. The films include The Guru (1969), The Delhi Way (1964), Heat and Dust (1983), The Deceivers (1988), The Sword and the Flute (1959), The Courtesans of Bombay (1983), The Creation of Woman (1961), and Hullabaloo Over Georgie and Bonnie's Pictures (1978).
When the Guru is looking over "Tom Pickle's" albums while upstairs alone at the party (roughly 22 minute mark), he's holding a copy of the Beatle's "Revolver" album, which was drawn by Klaus Voorman.
