Which it doesn't have to be, true, it gets the job done and doesn't take me out of the films. But he's getting nominations?<br /><br />Fate is the Hunter is just one of many examples of Oscar-nominated films doomed to become lost due to lack of concern on the studio's part. I feel like once you're up for Oscar Gold, you should move to the top of the preservation list. It's history, dammit!<br /><br />Andrew: Oh, you know I'm working on that Casting Coup for future use ;)Walter L.

It is almost impossible to single one out. <br /><br />Lathrop, I think was very underrated in his time. Maybe he was stigmatized as a "TV" cinematographer. In spite of a lot of interesting work in movies, his only other nomination was in 1974 for "Earthquake"!<br /><br />Krasner photographed "All About Eve" in 1950, and won for "Three Coins in the Fountain" a few years later. It's too bad "Fate is the Hunter is not yet readily available.<br /><br />Biroc has a list of credits a mile long, including 3 from your last Oscar year of 1974 ("Shanks", "Blazing Saddles" and his one Oscar win, "Towering Inferno"). He did everything, from 1950's sci-fi to screwball comedy, to "It's A Wonderful Life"!<br /><br />Figueroa was well-known in Mexico. He worked with Luis Bunuel among many others. His nomination was well deserved, although somewhat of an anomaly by Academy standards.<br /><br />Lassally worked magic with "Zorba". I think he may have been the sentimental favorite, having failed to earn a nomination the year before for BP-winner "Tom Jones".TomShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718198770348083155noreply@blogger.com
