It is such a rude shock that a man with such monumental talent that was unleashed at an auspicious moment in our country’s history would pass so gently. May his gentle soul find eternal rest. He was one of those who came, saw and worked to change the landscape. He left indelible marks in the sands of production and direction. The grateful would miss him, but the nation has already forgotten him.
