The last living link with the golden age of Ealing Studios - the great cinematographer Douglas Slocombe -
has died, at the age of 103. Slocombe worked on a string of notable post-Ealing films, from
The Servant and
The Italian Job to three
Indiana Jones movies (and, along the way, Polanski's crazy
The Fearless Vampire Killers) - but the work of his that he always remembered with most affection and pride was
Kind Hearts and Coronets. I wish I'd remembered to mention his brilliant cinematography when I wrote about
Kind Hearts a while back...
