Staying On

Tusker (Trevor Howard), a former colonel in the British Indian Army and a retired merchant, and his wife, Lucy (Celia Johnson), are the last British couple living in a small Himalayan town following India's independence. Although Tusker retains fond memories of the British Raj, Lucy wonders why her husband insists on staying in a swiftly modernizing country that increasingly has no use for reminders of its colonial past. Based on Paul Scott's 1977 novel, the film was shot on location in India.
