Jack Cardiff, cinematographer, in summer 2001

“I came home one evening – I had just driven from Isleworth to Borehamwood, which is a long drive, and my mother said, ‘You’ve got to go back to the studio right away’.

“I was furious. I said, ‘Why?’ She said, ‘They’re testing operators for something – Technicolor or something – so you’ve got to go back to be tested and have an interview’. Those that had been in came out shaken because the questions were highly technical.

“When it came to my turn they started all this technical stuff and I said, ‘I don’t think I’m your man because I’m a dunce at a lot of these things’.

“So there was a shocked silence and they said, ‘How do you expect to get on?’ I said, ‘Well I’m very fond of painting, and I also watch the light’. I had formed a habit, oddly enough, of watching the light in a room.

“Anyway, they said, ‘Which side of the face does Rembrandt light?’ I said ‘This side,’ which was a guess, really. ‘And for etching, of course, it would be reversed’. That was another bluff. But the next day they told me I had been chosen.”

This evening's viewing: very peculiar oddity from 1974, The Mutations, directed by legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff, with pre-Doctor Who Tom Baker (swathed in prosthetics) & Donald Pleasance, partly inspired by Browning's infamous 30s flick Freaks.
