Taipei, Taiwan, Dec. 1, 1968: A hair and makeup artist touches up Gregory Peck as the actor talks to director J. Lee Thompson on the set of “The Chairman” at the Hsing Tien Kong Temple in Taipei. This is the fourth movie collaboration between the actor and director. Thompson directed Peck earlier in “The Guns of Navarone” (1961), “Cape Fear” (1962) and “McKenna’s Gold,” which they filmed in 1967 but was to be released in 1969.
