Today March 31 2017 is 106th birth anniversary of Dong Kingman, a watercolour artist.
I watched Nicholas Ray's '55 Days at Peking', 1963 sometime in 2016. The film is pretty average, although, as always, David Niven stands out.
But what caught my attention was 'Title Paintings' of the late Dong Kingman and the music composed by Dimitri Tiomkin.
Mr. Kingman paintings are so moving that I feel they are almost wasted on that film! I wish he and the late Mr. Satyajit Ray worked together for at least one feature...
