# Quote 1 [on Michael Powell]: I adored Michael. I know all his faults...Michael loved bullying people, because he wanted them to bully him back; I've seen him have artistes in tears - but if you kicked back, it was all right. We used to have the most fantastic rows, but I always got the last word. 2 [on Peter Cushing]: I think Peter is absolutely wonderful - there is not an actor in the world who can speak rubbish like Peter and make it sound real.
# Fact 1 Provided the Foreword for a behind-the-scenes book "Inside Hammer", by Jimmy Sangster . 2 Studied engineering but changed his career direction when he developed an interest in photography and cinema. Became a clapper boy at Elstree Studios in 1935, eventually working his way up to camera assistant at Pinewood. Wartime service with the Army Kinematograph Unit, then became camera operator at London Films. Worked on several films for Powell & Pressburger and John Huston. Full lighting cameraman from 1956. A noted exponent of British 'New Wave' cinematography. 3 Started to direct from 1962, particularly horror films for Hammer and Amicus. Accepted many assignments to make a name for himself, but regretted this later when he became somewhat typecast in the genre. However, he was a stylist who created superior visuals for several poorly written films. After reading a script, he would 'photograph the film in his mind'. One of his personal favorites among his work was The Skull (1965). 4 He was not very fond of special effects, which he thought diminished the cinematographer's art. 5 Directed Michael Ripper seven times: six films and one TV series. 6 Directed Peter Cushing 8 times. 7 Completed his autobiography before suffering a stroke in December of 2006. 8 Began working in films as a still photographer at Shepherds Bush Studios in 1934, then proceeded to make short films for the British Army during WWII. 9 In addition to his Oscar-winning shooting of Sons and Lovers (1960) and Glory (1989), he was also a respected director of horror and science fiction. 10 Member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Cinematographers Branch). 11 Father of Gareth and Suzanna. 12 Father of Kevin Francis .
