The Silver Screen Oasis

I agree with ChiO's selection of Russell Metty. He did some great work with Douglas Sirk in the 1950s, and a great deal more in both cinema and television, from the 1930s through the 1970s. Have a look at his list:

Metty did a whole lot of work besides my favorites :

The Misfits
Touch of Evil
Kiss the Blood Off My Hands
The Private Affairs of Bel Ami
The Stranger
The Story of GI Joe
Ride the Pink Horse
We Were Strangers
Arch of Triumph
