Adapted by director Jean Renoir and Rumer Godden from Godden's own
novel, the film is set on the banks of West Bengal. The central
character is teenaged British girl Harriet, the offspring of a jute-
mill owner and his wife. Harriet and her best friend Valerie harbor a
crush for a dashing visitor named Captain John, who in turn is pre-
occupied with the hauntingly beautiful Indian girl Melanie. This
languid state of affairs is shaken up by unexpected tragedy involving
Harriet's impulsive brother. The real star of the proceedings is the
titular river, exquisitely color-photographed by Claude Renoir and
his Indian assistant Ramanda Sen Gupta.
