Someone should make a documentary about this guy.
• Legendary cinematographer who won Oscars and pioneered new techniques
• Worked on some of the biggest movies of the time
• rough and tumble early life; big success
but also
• couldn't get his citizenship established for years due to institutional racism
• couldn't even be legally married to a white woman, see above; they had to get married in Paris and wait 11 years until US laws changed
Everyone talks about Kubrick shooting by candlelight in 1975— James Wong Howe did it in 1970.
