Eugen Schufftan

Schufftan made several innovations in documentary techniques, particularly with his photography on "Menschen am Sonntag" (1929) for Robert Siodmak, with whom he would later collaborate in Hollywood. After fleeing Germany in 1933 he became one of the most influential, and cosmopolitan, of cinematographers, working with directors including Marcel Carne ("Drole de drame" 1937, "Quai des brumes" 1938), Max Ophuls, Rene Clair, George Franju ("La Tete contre les murs" 1958) and Robert Rossen ("The Hustler 1961, "Lilith" 1964).
