Perspective

“As I remember, I was held spellbound by a cameraman named Roy Hunt. I used him [as cinematographer] on several pictures because he was so interested in everything. He was a loquacious Southerner, and as mechanically inventive as anyone I ever saw. Almost every week he would appear with a new camera cover or an ingenious camera dolly for getting through small doors, etc….”

Director John Cromwell, in a letter to film historian Kingsley Canham, 15 October, 1973.[1]
