Download or read book Charles Crichton written by Quentin Falk and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Crichton is perhaps best remembered as the director of the unlikely blockbuster hit A Fish Called Wanda, made when he was seventy-seven years old. But the most significant part of his career was spent at Ealing Studios in the 1940s and 1950s, working on such beloved comedies as Hue and Cry, The Lavender Hill Mob and The Titfield Thunderbolt. Nonetheless, as this pioneering study of Crichton’s work reveals, his filmmaking skills extended way beyond comedy to wartime dramas and film noir, and his adaptability served him well when he made the transition into primetime television, working on popular shows such as The Avengers, Space: 1999 and The Adventures of Black Beauty. Featuring first-hand testimony from colleagues ranging from Dame Judi Dench and Petula Clark to John Cleese and Sir Michael Palin, this riveting account of Crichton’s fascinating life in film will appeal to film scholars and general readers alike.

Download or read book In Conversation with Cinematographers written by David A. Ellis and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although cinematographers are vital to the filmmaking process, they don’t always get the recognition they deserve. Directors of cinematography often are responsible for the look of a film and its lasting impression on the viewer, but their skills are not as readily appreciated as those of directors or screenwriters. David A. Ellis had the privilege of meeting with a number of accomplished cinematographers to discuss their art and craft. In Conversation with Cinematographers features interviews with 21 directors of photography--as well as two notable camera operators--most of whom still work in film and television today. In this volume, readers are taken behind the scenes of some of the most successful films and shows of the last several decades. Interviewed in this book are: • Sue Gibson (Hear My Song, The Forsyte Saga) • Gavin Finney (Colditz, Mr Selfridge, Wolf Hall) • Oliver Stapleton (The Cider House Rules, State and Main, The Proposal) • Phil Meheux (The Fourth Protocol, Casino Royale) • Brian Tufano (Trainspotting, Billy Elliot, The Evacuees) • Clive Tickner (Traffik, The Puppet Masters, Inspector Morse) • Stephen Goldblatt (The Prince of Tides, Angels in America, The Help) • Seamus McGarvey (High Fidelity, Atonement, The Hours) • Peter MacDonald (Excalibur, Hamburger Hill, Rambo 3) • Mike Southon (Gothic, Doctor Who: The Hider in the House) • Rob Hardy (Every Secret Thing, Testament of Youth, Ex Machina) • Harvey Harrison (101 Dalmatians, The Expendables, Sahara) • Mike Valentine (Shakespeare in Love, Skyfall, The Bourne Ultimatum) • Robin Browne (Gandhi, A Passage to India, Air America) • Adam Suschitzky (Life on Mars, The Whisperers) • Ken Westbury (Dr. Fischer of Geneva, The Singing Detective) • Simon Kossoff (Young Charlie Chaplin, Client 9,The Daisy Chain) • Chris Seager (Call the Midwife, Game of Thrones) • David Worley (Quantum of Solace, Thor: The Dark World, The Full Monty) • Trevor Coop (Amadeus, Ballykissangel, Chocolat) • Haris Zambarloukos (Mama Mia, Cinderella, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) • Peter Hannan (The Gathering Storm, My House in Umbria, The Razor’s Edge) • Roger Pratt (Shadowlands, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Batman) These cinematographers recount their experiences on sets and reveal what it was like to work with some of the most acclaimed directors of recent times, including Danny Boyle, Francis Ford Coppola, Clint Eastwood, Lasse Hallstrom, David Lynch and Steven Spielberg.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR MICHAEL CRICHTON’S EDGAR AWARD-WINNING NOVEL The author of cutting-edge bestsellers like Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain, Michael Crichton captivated millions of fans by skillfully blending medical and scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction.

Tensions flare—and explode—when a surgical operation tragically ends in death, raising countless questions. Was it accidental malpractice? A violation of the Hippocratic oath? Or cold-blooded murder?
