[ethanedwards]

Cinematographers, were responsible for putting the magic
onto the silver screen, and without them, the spectacle would never be!

Four such men,
William H. Clothier,Archie Stout, Winton Hoch and Bert Glennon
were without doubt very special to Duke and his movies.
Clothier and Hoch, more or less took over the mantle,
from Stout, for the years after!

Archie Stout was Duke's first favourite cinematographer,
and like Clothier, spent most of his working life, with Duke.

He served as the cinematographer on most of Duke's early
Lone Star Movies.
Paul Malvern the producer of those movies declared:-

He was the finest exterior cameraman, ever born...
These films are beautiful to look at.

Stout later worked for John Ford, as Second Unit work
on such classics as Wagonmaster

He is the only cinematographer to be nominated
and win an Academy Award for second unit photography
for John Ford's The Quiet Man (1952).

Wow! 30 movies with Duke! I think maybe the cinematographers are unsung heroes! And how many people have worked together with John Wayne on so many movies?

[ethanedwards]

Jim just three,

1. Yakima Canutt. 42
2. John Ford. 32
2=Chuck Roberson. 32

I've got one more Cinematographer to post,
Wiiliam Hoch.

I think they were fantastic at what they did,
and as you say, unsung heroes!

Just to re- introduce one of Duke's favourite co-workers

[Lt. Brannigan]

As cheap as those B-Westerns were, the work done by Archie Stout was topnotch.

[chester7777]

It's still amazing to me how much technical improvement there was in movie making between 1910 and 1950. Archie Stout was right in the middle of it.
