How Green Was My Valley (D.O.P. Arthur C. Miller 1941) w/ Bryan Loomis (What a Picture Podcast)

Jan 12

Felicia is joined by Bryan Loomis to discuss Arthur C. Miller’s imprint on one of cinema’s greatest achievements in cinematography, How Green Was My Valley (1941).

We chat about how he understood John Ford’s clear vision for this film and why the black and white imagery adds to the comfort reflected in this family’s story.
