His credits run from 1922 to 1970. Won an Academy Award for The Naked City (1948), directed by Jules Dassin, and featured in the header. Favorite cinematographer of Garbo and Frank Sinatra. One of his later movies was In Like Flint (1967), in CinemaScope, that I watched last week on DVD.

In his biography of producer Mark Hellinger (who produced The Naked City (1948), which won Daniels an Academy Award for Best Cinematography, Black-and-White), Jim Bishop wrote: "In the old silent days, Daniels had been the best of them all. His camera work was so close to art that producers and directors and cameramen used to sit in private projection rooms, not to judge a picture, but to see what new tricks of lighting and effects Daniels had achieved. The industry acknowledged that Daniels' work was so fine that other cameramen were never censured for shamelessly stealing it".
