Died. Sidney Franklin, 79, Hollywood producer and director, whose 1942 production of Mrs. Miniver won an Academy Award for best picture; in Santa Monica, Calif. Franklin began as an actor in D.W. Griffith silent movies, then took a job behind the lens as an assistant cameraman. Ultimately, he became one of MGM's most successful directors (The Good Earth, The Barretts of Wimpole Street...
Take Ron Frantzvog. A television cameraman who shares a small West Los Angeles apartment with his brother, Ron is away filming a show in Hawaii, and this worries him, not because he misses his girl friend or his brother or his wormholed stereo, but because he misses his 1958 Porsche. What will it do without him, pining away in a garage? He writes his brother Wayne often: "Did you remember to pump the brakes?" (This tests the condition of the master cylinder.) Wayne agrees to show us the Porsche, deep in a carefully padlocked garage. He unties a silk-soft...
Verna is only too well aware that despite the sophisticated electronic devices, TV is not infallible. In a game between the Washington Redskins and the San Francisco 49ers, Quarterback John Brodie fouled things up by faking out the defense-and the CBS cameraman-to hit Wide Receiver Gene Washington with a 78-yd. scoring bomb.

In a similar situation in another 49ers game, Verna was so confident that Brodie would throw to Washington that...
...strict filmic terms. Brook and his cameraman, Henning Kristiansen, supply plenty of visual pyrotechnics. One decision was splendid. The dominating color, or noncolor, of the film is white. This creates the proper sensation of wintry old age and bleakness. The film gives off an almost palpable and desolating coldness, as if one were witnessing snow on the craters of the moon. But the defect of that virtue surfaces at the fulcrum of the play, which is the vast raging storm on the heath. The lashing rain seems incongruous in such an icy climate, and no one's thoughts should...
...concurrent brutality of nameless authority and unceasing Arctic frost define Ivan's world. Sven Nykvist, Ingmar Bergman's cameraman, has filled Siberia with beautiful winter horizons of shining white snow, deep blue sky, and soft yellow prison search lights. The harshness of the sub-zero temperatures seem more like the sting in the air of a winter carnival. The beautiful landscapes are totally inappropriate. Wrede's depiction of the guards may be more accurate, but everything is so beautiful one can hardly be bothered to notice them...
