...Ford Motor Co. commissioned Sheeler to spend six weeks photographing Ford's immense new River Rouge assembly plant near Detroit. Ford Plant, River Rouge, Criss-Crossed Conveyors, one of the most famous images in 20th century photography, divides the plant into a multitude of planes, angles and openings with an unmistakable resemblance to the buttresses and steeples of a soaring medieval church.

In the double-murder scene in The Godfather, for example, Francis Ford Coppola had only one demand: no music. In response, Murch independently recorded the sound of an elevated train to accompany the silent footage. By slowly raising the volume of the train’s screeching, he mirrored Michael’s psychological anguish as he strengthens his resolve to kill...
