Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam

In nineteenth-century India a decadent zamindar neglects his wife (Meena Kumari) in favor of alcohol and other women. When a poor young man (Guru Dutt, who also produced and, according to some accounts, ghost-directed) enters the household as a servant, the lowly Bhootnath grows close to the wife of his employer and observes with fascination and pity her decline as she desperately attempts to save her marriage, narrating her story through his eyes and perspective.
