Merchant Ivory Productions collaborated with London Weekend Television in 1978 to create the film HULLABALOO OVER GEORGIE AND BONNIE'S PICTURES. In India, a young maharaja, Georgie (Victor Banerjee), and his sister, Bonnie (Aparna Sen), possess a collection of Indian miniature paintings rotting away in a storeroom of their palace. Dame Peggy Ashcroft stars as Lady Gee, a manipulative London art dealer who journeys to India in search of their set of priceless art. Competing with Lady Gee is another art collector, Clark Haven (Larry Pine). The two collectors try through manipulation, flirtation, and trickery to scam the artwork out of the maharaja's hands while the collection's curator (Saeed Jaffrey) works both sides against each other. BBC producer Melvyn Bragg approached Merchant Ivory Productions with the offer of making a film for London Weekend Television's THE SOUTH BANK SHOW, and, after its success on broadcast television, the movie was released as a feature film. The premise behind HULLABALOO was inspired by director James Ivory's 1959 documentary, THE SWORD AND THE FLUTE (narrated by Jaffrey), which detailed the history and technique of Indian miniature painting.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Interviews - 1.

Jean Yarbrough (PETTICOAT JUNCTION, BONANZA, THE ADDAMS FAMILY) had the Midas touch when it came to film and TV, consistently turning out hits throughout his career. Here he remakes the 1934 version of a novel by Jack Woodford, about a railroad tycoon who takes an accidental vacation while his rival close in on his empire. J.B. Matthews (Jed Prouty, LOOK WHO`S LAUGHING) is in the middle of closing a huge deal on a railroad takeover, when he is prescribed some relaxation by his doctor. He takes a trip on one of his own private trains, but falls off and lands in the midst of a foreign universe. Taken in by two hobos (Frank Faylen and Charlie Hall), Matthews is soon cured by the pair`s alternative medical techniques. Meanwhile, Matthews`s rivals are using the opportunity to take over his company, and his daughter (Lorna Gray), aided by reporter Jimmy Dugan (Frank Albertson, PSYCHO), searches for him in vain.
