Died at home surrounded by family and friends, at age 68.
I already done kil’t him yesterday, to be met with overwhelming lack of interest.
Perhaps a revamped thread title is in order:
**The Remains of the Producer
Ismail’s End
A Tomb with a View**
That is too bad.
He made some really good films.
Are he and Ivory partners or friends or what?
Sad to think that there won’t be another Merchant and Ivory film…
Hey. my thread title was Ivory in Black, which I thought was pretty clever.
I’m sorry to hear this. The man produced some of my favorite movies: Room with a View, Maurice, Howard’s End.
I’ll watch them this weekend, as a sort of commemorative.
I’m sorry too. Remains of the Day is one of my favorite movies.
Another vote for Remains of the Day.
Eve, “Ivory in Black” IS a good title, but I gotta admit that I may well have passed that by without a clue as to what you meant.
