Robert Krasker(1913-1981)

He was proposed by producer Harry Saltzman as director of photography for "Billion Dollar Brain" (1967), but his initial interview with director Ken Russell was disastrous - Russell, perhaps to assert himself over Saltzman, was insulting about Krasker's work on the recent film, "The Trap". Krasker replied that Russell needed a documentary cameraman and turned the film down, never working on a feature film again. He did photograph a couple of short films and several commercials later on, though.
