I am very untypical of many Tamils in one sense, having barely
watched (m)any Tamil movies :-)

Dr. Sankaran of Regina told about MalaikkaLLan is an adaptation
of Alexander Dumas' novel.

I think this was a novel by Namakkal Kavijnar.
It was taken in a hill at a village, KiNaththukkaDavu.
Midway between Pollachi and Coimbatore. The Leopard (ciRuththaip puli)
acting belonged to a Car repair shop owner, fondly
called till his death as "PulikkuTTi Naayakkar".
His son, Mr. Jayabal still runs the car workshop in Coimbatore.
In an old Austin car, when PulikkuTTi Naayakkar was going anywhere,
(For example to our farm), the ciRuththai will be in the
back seat. Like a big, pet dog. It died of age.
Thiru. NaayuDu told me about the list of films it has
appeared. (It escapes my mind for now).

Thiru. Sulaiman wrote about MalaiyaaNDipattanam touring talkies once,
he ought to know KinaththukkaDavu also.

Regards,
N. Ganesan
