Until his retirement in 1940, William Darling has had such creditable pictures to his name as FOUR SONS, WAY DOWN EAST, BERKELEY SQUARE, CAVALCADE, IN OLD CHICAGO, JESSE JAMES, and THE RAINS CAME. In 1943, at the request of Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, he came out of retirement to create the backgrounds for SONG OF BERNADETTE, an Academy Award Winner; KEYS OF THE KINGDOM in 1944; and ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM in 1946, another Academy Award Winner for Art Direction.
In speaking with George Dudley, an associate of William Darling for the last fifteen years, he mentioned
several factors which Darling always tried to incorporate within his sketches and then on the screen: 1. With his great love for living trees, he would design his exterior sets around natural growth in order to obtain depth and a framework for photographic composition. 2. To obtain dramatic effects and heighten the atmospheric qualities of a scene, he would group buildings on the side or crest of a hill allowing the natural sky to frame the picture. 3. He would over-emphasize the textures of materials, such as stones, woods, and designs, in order that the light would give pattern to the background.
These thirty years as an Art Director have been full and happy years for William Darling, the man to whom many individuals are indebted for their training and guidance.
