India Has Its Movie Problems in Calcutta and Bombay
Calcutta’s Metro Cinema and its Bombay twin, once owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer India, have been sold for about 714 million rupees. The move shadows a policy to ban American films as licenses expire and MPERA promises falter. India produced 417 films last year, while imports from the United States total about 115 yearly, affecting private exhibitors and the government’s duties. Ben Hur played 32 weeks at Metro Calcutta, Sound of Music ran 40 weeks locally.
