The Prowler (D.O.P. Arthur C. Miller 1951) w/ Darragh McGrath

Jan 19

Felicia is joined by Darragh McGrath to discuss the harsh reality that Arthur C. Miller paints in The Prowler (1951).

We chat about his disinterest in soft focus lighting and why he preferred to soft images as close to real life, along with how well he adapted to the directors vision.
