There was a movie that came out several years ago about an Indian nanny helping a British woman in India. I thought it had Natasha Richardson in it. The nanny ends up trying to take this woman's children from her. What is the name of this movie? |

Hi there, I believe the film you describe is Cotton Mary (1999), a Merchant-Ivory production starring Greta Scacchi. User comments from Internet Movie Database: "A sensitive look at the difficulties faced by a woman in colonial India, during the period when nationalism was starting to set in. The story opens with an India-born Englishwoman who goes into labour, is taken to the hospital, and gives birth to a sickly child. When it turns out that her milk doesn't come in, a nurse with mixed British/Indian heritage takes pity on her, finds a wet nurse, moves into her house, and begins to manipulate the situation to her own advantage." "...would have you believe that Cotton Mary could take a baby, ship it across the river to her sister's compound to nurse, ship it back - and still have time for her various plots?

Greta Scacchi and Natasha Richardson are quite similar in looks and age. Please ask for a clarification if this is not the film. Best wishes, robertskelton-ga |

Thank you so much! This is definitely the movie I was looking for. I'm going to rent it at the first chance I get. |

I am not certain this is the movie you're looking for, but I'll toss it into the air and see where it lands. "My Daughter's Keeper," also known as "Au Pair," has a plot somewhat similar to what you describe. However, it takes place in Africa rather than in India. The mother in "Au Pair" is played by Jocelyn Broderick. I've tried to find an online photo of her, and have not yet located one, so I can't say whether she resembles Natasha Richardson. Since I have not seen this movie, I have no further details. Perhaps another researcher will take up the challenge. Here is a brief synopsis of "My Daughter's Keeper" with a photo that might possibly help: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilm/product/film_info/0,3699,2346244,00.html |
