Splinters from Hollywood Tripods: Memoirs of a Cameraman

[minor shelfwear to bottom edge, slight age-toning to top edge of text block; jacket spine is somewhat faded/color-shifted, and there's a light brown shading across the top of the rear panel]. (B&W photographs) "Many books have been written celebrating -- or denigrating -- the stars who, throughout the years, have paraded before the cameras of Hollywood. [The author], probably more often than any other one person, was the man behind the camera. Here he focuses on his fellow cameramen and other behind-the-scenes colleagues, giving us sharp verbal pictures of these skilled professionals, without whom no motion picture could be made. This is his tribute to them." Miller, who started in the movie business at Universal Studios in 1913, ultimately worked into the 1950s; he did uncredited work on two of Lon Chaney's greatest films, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, although the bulk of his credited work was achieved on B pictures such as the Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto series at Twentieth Century-Fox.
