I was sorta raised on Hopalong when I was a kid. I also remember Sky King, Paladin, Have Gun Will Travel, Roy Rogers, Sons of the Pioneers, Gabby Hayes, John Wayne, The Rebel ... I even had a Hopalong Cassidy bedspread. I definitely consider William Boyd to be a cut above the "average." The main complaint I have ... the Indians aren't portrayed very realistically, although in this movie, they're not the "bad guys" (except 1).
I know so little about the creation/partition of India and Pakistan, but ... I know it had to be a very painful and trying time for a lot of people. Division of countries/people is never peaceful, as far as I recall. I still am a "romantic" at heart and did enjoy seeing that love found a way thru all the turmoil. As far as the discussions of the "realities" of this movie, I don't recall ever seeing one that was 100% true. I did enjoy and appreciate this movie. Good job.
