For many years, he worked extensively with Indian-born film producer Ismail Merchant, his domestic as well as professional partner, and with screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. All three were principals in Merchant Ivory Productions, whose films have won seven Academy Awards; Ivory himself has been nominated for four Oscars, winning one. Ivory's directorial work includes A Room with a View (1985), Maurice (1987), Howards End (1992), and The Remains of the Day (1993). For his work on Call Me by Your Name (2017), which he wrote and produced, Ivory won awards for Best Adapted Screenplay from the Academy Awards, British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Writers Guild of America, the Critics' Choice Awards, and the Scripter Awards, among others. Upon winning the Oscar and BAFTA at the age of 89, Ivory became the oldest-ever winner in any category for both awards. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala CBE (7 May 1927 - 3 April 2013) was a German-born British and American Booker prize-winning novelist, short story writer and two-time Academy Award-winning screenwriter. She is perhaps best known for her long collaboration with Merchant Ivory Productions, made up of director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant. After meeting Cyrus Jhabvala in England, she married him and moved to India in 1951; Jhabvala was an Indian-Parsi architect. The couple lived in New Delhi and had three daughters. Jhabvala began then to elaborate her experiences in India and wrote novels and tales on Indian subjects. She wrote a dozen novels, 23 screenplays, and eight collections of short stories and was made a CBE in 1998 and granted a joint fellowship by BAFTA in 2002 with Ivory and Merchant. She is the only person to have won both a Booker Prize and an Oscar. John Swope (August 23, 1908 - May 11, 1979) was a photographer for Life, and a commercial pilot who trained United States Army Air Force pilots during World War II. His interest in photography began when he brought a camera to a yacht race from Los Angeles to Hawaii in 1936. Together with Leland Hayward and John H. Connelly, he co-founded Southwest Airways (no connection to the present day Southwest Airlines), a company that developed the Thunderbird Fields, which trained thousands of military pilots during the Second World War. He was married to actress Dorothy McGuire in 1943 until his death on May 11, 1979. This book is a film maker's response in print and not on celluloid to what is called Royal India--land of Maharajas. It contains the overflow from the author's films in which Royal India appears. It is a collection of photographs, anecdotes, and other items which the author believes are worth saving. When India became independent in 1947, the princeses were guaranteed their titles, properties, and certain privileges. But more and more their special status came to be seen as an anachronism, and it has now been legally abolished. For the princes, it was like the French Revolution, except that none of them went to the guillotine; they merely became private citizens. Many of these former rulers are still doing very well.
