HER LAST ACT
Karachi, Jan. 1. Film artist and partner of R. S. Productions, Bombay, Suraiya Zulfi died on the 27th December
1947 in a plane crash off Karachi. She played important roles in "Chehra", "Rehmat", "Roopa", "Panditji", and produced "Congo" rnd "Do Naina" under the banner of her own R. S. Productions. May her soul rest in peace! THE SHOE PINCHES!
Washington, Jan. 7. "Censors in India are wielding a sharp knife on films which go in for murder, torture, heavy drinking and sordid love", states the U. S. Department of Commerce in a round-up of motion picture reports from several countries.
It is pointed out that of the 16 American films reviewed by the I Jensofs in Bombay during August 1947 three were banned and four more had parts cut out for these rearons.
According to the Bombay Censors, The film "The Postman Always Rings Twice" was banned because it was neither entertaining nor instructive. But it dealt with murder and the sordid love of a married woman. We do not want the producers to show us men ?nd women as angels with wings, but they need not go out of their way to paint life blacker than it is.
"The film is a very powerful medium of communication and the majority of cinemagoers are very easily influenced."
