In 1947 writer-director #RobertRossen, whose film BODY AND SOUL was about to be released, named #TheBestYearsofOurLives as the only American film he found realistic, but added that even it "had some phony moments." Rossen on-set with DP #JamesWongHowe and #HazelBrooks. #TCMParty

📽️ Raoul Walsh (1947)
Muni des codes du genre on ne se positionne pourtant pas dans le western classique.
Connu pour sa dimension psychanalytique, la production d’après-guerre solidement structurée affronte les failles.

Howe was a highly sought-after Director of Photography during 1930-1960. Deep-focus cinematography—making both foreground & distant planes remain in focus—was partly the reason why.

A piece I enjoy reverting back to from time to time:
"Meet the Cinematographer Who Changed Films Forever: The story of James Wong Howe":

And now . . . a reminder:
“Sometimes it's not how much light you use to get an effect, it's how little you use and still make it work. There are a lot of rules to be broken in photography, and you've got to have courage.”
—James Wong Howe

📽️ Anatole Litvak (1940)
Le récit d’une ville monde et de deux amoureux d’enfance symboles de ce qu’elle peut proposer.
Gai, rythmé, contrasté, des destinés tragiques rebondissantes.
Une saga des rues.

#jameswonghowe filming The Alaskan at Castle Mountain, Alberta, 1924. The Iyarhe Nakoda gather to ride down the mountain & save town from an unscrupulous developer. Most indigenous in Alberta movies were heroes. Most directors - Ford, Walsh, Borzage - came to Alberta to film anti-racism westerns.
#IyarheNakoda women did not appear in early films shot at #MiniThni reserve in #Alberta by #FrankBorzage. Elders in #StoneyFilmProject said they were uncomfortable with cameras until around 1924, when 250 Nakoda with women & children were in #TheAlaskan, shot by #JamesWongHowe. 🎥 #moviesky #filmsky
Hollywood needs to cast Matthew Moy (Two Broke Girls) as legendary cinematographer James Wong Howe. #FilmSky #Cinematography #Biopic #JamesWongHowe #AsianAmerican
Been exploring more and more classic cinema and every other movie boasts cinematography by James Wong Howe. Prolific and talented. Consider me a fan. #classiccinema #jameswonghowe
