CinemaScope: The story behind Dev Anand s first English film
Rahi was simultaneously made in English with the title of The Wayfarer in 1952 (minus the songs), more than a decade before Guideâs English version
In the last few years, much has been written about two rare and lesser-seen films of Dev Anand made in English, also featuring other renowned Indian actors in the cast. These include The Guide directed by Tad Danielewski released in 1965 and The Evil Within directed by Lamberto V. Avellana released in 1970. Unfortunately, both the attempts couldnât influence the viewers in the west and were declared unsuccessful ventures despite many known international names associated with their making.
