My facebook friend Mukund Marulkar is a huge fan of Shankar-Jaikishan and is always posting interesting stuff about them. Recently I saw a photo by him where it was declared that SJ were going to be the music directors of the above film. I am not sure what happened, in the end they were not at all mentioned in the credits.

Here is the photo, thanks to Mukund Marulkar and, screen caps from the DVD of the film. We can see the Indian cast members and crew, Interesting to see Ellis R Dungan mentioned. The music is by Ken Jones.

If you have been visiting the Database Website, you may have noticed that we have been adding Volume III (1951-1960) filmography information.

We are happy to report that it is complete for now. [The Song picturization information for this decade, about 3,500 songs, is also being readied, will be up soon.]

If one compares the information with the published volume HFGK V III (Edition Second, April 1997), these changes will be apparent.

1. 'Hamraaz' has been receiving additions and corrections from people all over the world, they are included.

2. We have watched about 450 film videos that we have, to look for uncredited cast members, information from those have been added.

3. Upendra Samaranayake has published two books on Junior Artist filmographies, that information has been added.

4. Edwina has published a book on her co-dancers, information from that has been added.
