Seeking information on films
M. Emaduddin, Oxford, UK
For a personal research purpose, I am collecting information on the 1st East Bengal film "The Last Kiss" (1931) and an earlier short film "Sukumari" (1928). Both were silent movies - filmed in Dhaka and acted mainly by some amateur youths of the 2nd and 3rd Dhaka Nawab families ( KM Nasarullah, KM Ajmal, KM Adel, Sahib-e-Alam, KM Akmal, SA Saleem, KM Zaheer, KM Azad, child actor KM Shahed Sahabuddin etc.). Tuntun, the 3-4 years old daughter of Rai Bahadur Satendra Nath Das (zamindar, lived somewhere near Wari and a well known figure in Dhaka in those days) was the child actress of "The Last Kiss". I will greatly appreciate if a reader of your daily can provide me with any piece of information (viewer of the film, memoir, picture, personal experiences with any of the actors-actresses-technicians or any words of mouth) on these films. My e-mail address is: dhaka.nawab@gmail.com.
