História

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ernest Jacob Haller (May 31, 1896 – October 21, 1970) was an American cinematographer. He was most notable for his involvement in Gone with the Wind (1939) and his close professional relationships with prominent actresses of the time, such as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Ingrid Bergman. Haller was nominated for Academy Awards a total of seven times and won for Best Cinematography once. Haller began his career as a cinematographer as an assistant cameraman to D. W. Griffith’s great cameraman Billy Bitzer. He next moved to Warner Brothers. Some of Haller’s recognized works include Weary River (1928), Dawn Patrol (1930), The Rich Are Always with Us (1931)— a film where he first photographed Bette Davis—, The Emperor Jones (1933), and Dangerous (1935). In 1938, Haller received his first Academy Awards nomination for Best Cinematography for the film Jezebel. This recognition caught the eyes of David O. Selznick who was impressed with Haller's work in Jezebel enough to borrow him from the Warner Bros. to participate in Gone with the Wind (1939), which granted Haller his first and only Oscar for Best Cinematography. Haller had five more nominations for an Academy Award, for All This, and Heaven Too (1940), Mildred Pierce (1945), The Flame and the Arrow (1950), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), and Lilies of the Field (1963). Haller initially announced his retirement in 1965 but managed to briefly come out of it in July 1965 upon the request of director James Goldstone to film the second pilot of the Star Trek episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before". He was killed in a car accident in Marina Del Rey, California, on October 21, 1970 at the age of 74.

Primeiro filme sonoro dirigido por Howard Hawks, The Dawn Patrol é, entre todos os filmes de aviação sobre a Primeira Guerra Mundial, o que dá uma visão mais autenticamente sombria. Algumas cenas aéreas foram filmadas pelo próprio diretor, a bordo de uma avião com a câmera fixada na parte dianteira. Segundo Ken Wlaschin, este é um dos dez melhores trabalhos no cinema dos astros Richard Barthelmess e Douglas Fairbanks Jr.. A história foi refilmada com o mesmo título em 1938, com Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone e David Niven nos papéis principais, dirigidos por Edmund Goulding. Essa versão aproveitou tomadas aéreas fotografadas por Elmer Dyer para a produção de 1930.

Cynthia is somewhat upset at this turn of events, and decides to go to Paris - the Wickedest City in the World - and get a quiet divorce. Cynthia soon finds out that Paris is a really gay city, especially after Henri de Briac, shows up and offers to be her guide to the delights of Paris (primarily him). Cynthia quickly sheds some of her dowdy ways and dowdy clothes, and is having herself what was once quaintly described as a gay old time.
