★★★★ · India! And Egypt! · Spuzz · 2018-03-14

The anonymous couple's travels continue as they (fly?) out to India and spend quite a chunk of the film here. Great GREAT scenes of early India here, as we see people doing god knows what in the Ganges, some (what looks like) outdoor cremations, and other touristy stuff. They then sail off to Egypt, and some more great scenes devoted to a Grand Vacation. This couple was FILTHY rich. There's some hotel shots to prove that.
