Frances is a 1982 American drama film starring Jessica Lange, Kim Stanley, and Sam Shepard. When it was released this film was advertised as a purportedly true account of actress Frances Farmer's life but the script was largely fictional and sensationalized. In particular, the film depicts Farmer as having been lobotomized; this is reputed to never have happened.
Directed by Graeme Clifford, the story was written for the screen by Eric Bergren, Christopher De Vore and Nicholas Kazan (son of Elia Kazan, who worked with the real Frances Farmer in several plays), based upon William Arnold's Shadowland, a fictional biography of Farmer. In pre-production, the producers reneged on their option to use the book as source material. Arnold filed an unsuccessful copyright infringement lawsuit but many of his fictional elements were incorporated into the final film. On the commentary of the DVD release, director Clifford stated, "We didn't want to nickel and dime people to death with facts." Mel Brooks was executive producer of the film, but received no credit for his participation.

Plot: Cultural boundries dissolve, and the family of a man struggle to reinvent itself within a new cultural context. Mr. Ahmed is the story of such a conflict - the old and new world: India and America. This simple, yet poignant drama, paints a portrait of a man caught between two worlds. As memories of a home and family left behind seep to the surface, the collision of the old and new world forces his life into a critical turn, and an act, which could destroy both of them. "an enigmatic masterpiece" (The Times of India)

Genres: Comedy,Lean on me won't you,
trust me for a while
she said "I think I'm cured now"
I touched her nimble fingers
she was shaking like a leaf
I suppose she got what she needed
a kid that wouldn't listen
a kid that had no fear
a woman that doesn't care....
Lean on me,
won't you trust me for a while
her eyes shone like crazy emeralds
now the madness is gone
now the halo is gone
no duckling turned to swan
no freedom won
