In 1935? Really? This was displayed on the screen about mid-way through the film when they were flying over a desert. Pakistan wasn't formed until Partition from India in the late 1940s.
When I said I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed at me. Well, they're not laughing now!
thats quite true !
I also find it quite strange that they made Karachi took like it was in the middle of the Middle east with the camels and the sand dunes. Karachi has been a bustling city for centuries as a port city. Wouldnt she have landed near the ports ? Why would she be hanging out in a desert in a tent when she could have been sipping tea with the english at old burns road. the yatch club or sindh club or something? Extremely strange.
I am from Karachi, so was sort of offended.
Actually I hadn't thought of that but she was flying over the desert too, not a large metroplis like Karachi. I guess the film-makers were simply appealing to your average westerner's stereotype view of the Asian sub-continent as being all desert and not much else, which is far removed from reality.
I haven't seen it since I first posted here, but I seem to remember the desert looking more like how I would imagine the Sahara to look. So, nothing like central Asia anyway.
