Dressed To Thrill Vijay Anand
Vijay Anand’s phenomenal talents in wielding the megaphone made him deserve the pet name Goldie. He could write dialogue and screenplay, he could direct, he could edit his film and of course find time and inclination to even act in them. While he wasn’t Orson Welles, his contribution to Indian cinema wasn’t any less.
His films were stylish and slick. Films
like Guide and Teesri Manzil could very well hold their own against a
Hollywood film. Filmmaking techniques and use of colour palates in
classics like Kala Bazar, Johny Mera Naam and Jewel Thief was a Goldie
Anand trademark. Much of older brother Dev Anand’s best work came with
Goldie in the director’s chair.
