For American distribution, Satyajit Ray's Three Daughters has had exactly one daughter and approximately one hour eliminated. This operation has done no damage to what remains -- two out of three separate short stories dealing with different forms of first love, the first about a servant girl's devotion to a postmaster who has been assigned to a lonely outpost in the provinces, and the second about a child bride's headstrong last stand against adulthood and domesticity. Ray's feeling for behavioral nuance, on the smallest individual level, and for custom, on the larger cultural level, is displayed here at its most penetrating. (1961) — Duncan Shepherd
