#286 - Cinematographer John Alton - Film Noir - WatchThis W/RickRamos

<p><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong><em>Painting with Light</em> - The Art of John Alton</strong></span></p> <p>On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos I go solo to talk one of the greatest cinematographers the industry has ever known - John Alton. Looking at three of his classic Noir films- <strong><em>T-Men</em></strong> (1947), and <strong><em>Raw Deal</em></strong> & <strong><em>He Walked By Night</em></strong> (Both 1948), I break down what is truly great about Film Noir. The magic of smoke, fog, shadows, and - especially - Black & White photography to create a world of tension, fear, and surprise.</p> <p>I had a great time talking about this. Take a listen and let me know what you think - <a href= "mailto:gondoramos@yahoo.com">gondoramos@yahoo.com</a></p> <p>As always, my thanks & appreciation for your continued support.</p>
