Movie Reviews of 55 Days at Peking
Movie Review: NICHOLAS RAY, OPUS 20
Summary: 4 Stars
**** 1963. Directed by Nicholas Ray. Two nominations for the Oscars (Dimitri Tiomkin). After King of Kings, this is the second Samuel Bronston production in a row for Nicholas Ray who, at the age of 52, delivers with 55 DAYS AT PEKING his last film. Peking, 1900. The empress's counselor persuades her to help the Boxers attack the 400 international soldiers trapped in a fortified compound in the middle of the city. The film is a great adventure movie but impossible to find here themes one could relate to the filmography of Nicholas Ray. No interesting bonus features but an above average copy here if you own a multi-zone DVD player. Recommended.
