From the Kinja archive (and The Golden Horn screenshot at the top of the page):
Robby Muller died on July 3. A lot of his movies have come up recently: Barfly, To Live and Die in L.A., Mad Dog and Glory, Repo Man, The Believers. I have the Criterion DVD of Paris, Texas. I love the shot in the car pulling into the motel.

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".
Several of the recent cinematography posts, including this one, are all new to blogspot. I said a long while back I would eventually get all the Kinja ones done. Mostly done. I love to see these old black and white movies on Blu-ray. I think black and white looks even better than color in HD. Tremendous detail. George E. Diskant another of the top in film noir.

Looking at some of his less famous efforts. Bad Company (1972) in the header is one of my favorite movies. He also did all The Godfathers and a bunch of Woody Allen.

One thing I regret is not archiving more of the cinematography and directors posts. Lazy. Image heavy posts are a pain now.
