His career spanned the development of cinema, from silent film,
through early experiments in
Technicolor

half-a-century later. He was best known for his influential colour

and Hitchcock.
In 2000 he was awarded an OBE and in 2001 he was awarded an Honorary

Early life[edit]
Cardiff was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, the son of Florence and
John Joseph Cardiff, music hall entertainers.[2]
He worked as an actor from an early age, both in the music hall and in
a number of silent films: My Son, My Son (1918), Billy's Rose (1922),
The Loves of Mary, Queen of Scots (1923) and Tiptoes (1927). At 15, he
began working as a camera assistant, clapper boy and production runner
for British International Pictures, including Hitchcock's The Skin
Game (1931).[citation needed]
Cinematography[edit]
In 1935, Cardiff graduated to camera operator and occasional
cinematographer, working mostly for London Films. He was the first to
shoot a film in Britain in Technicolor: Wings of the Morning (1937).
When the war began he worked as a cinematographer on public
information films. He did a number of films on India where the British
wanted to showcase the new capital city of Delhi.
The turning point in his career was as a 2nd unit cameraman on Powell
& Pressburger's
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943); they
were sufficiently impressed to hire Cardiff as cinematographer on
their post-war
Technicolor
Technicolor A Matter of Life and Death (1946). Their
collaboration continued with
Black Narcissus
Black Narcissus (1947), which won Cardiff
an Oscar and a Golden Globe, and The Red Shoes (1948). These films put
Cardiff's talents in high demand, and a string of big-budget films
followed.
In 1995, the
British Society of Cinematographers
British Society of Cinematographers conferred a lifetime
achievement award on Cardiff.[3]
Directorial work[edit]
In the late 1950s Cardiff began to direct, with two modest successes
in
Intent to Kill (1958) and
Web of Evidence
Web of Evidence (1959). His version of D.
H. Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers (1960), starring Trevor Howard,
Wendy Hiller
Wendy Hiller and Dean Stockwell, was a hit, critically and at the
box-office. It received seven Oscar nominations (including a Best
Director nomination for Cardiff) and
Freddie Francis won for Best
Black-and-White Cinematography. Cardiff received a
Golden Globe
Golden Globe Award
for Best Director.
Later life[edit]
After concentrating on direction in the 1960s, he returned to
cinematography in the 1970s and 1980s, working on mainstream
commercial films in the United States. One of the last films Cardiff
photographed was at
Pinewood Studios
Pinewood Studios in 2004 when he lit veteran actor
Sir
John Mills
John Mills in a short entitled Lights 2 (dir. Marcus Dillistone).
The combined age of leading actor and cinematographer was a record 186
years. A feature-length documentary was made about Cardiff's life and
career, Cameraman: The Life and Work of
Jack Cardiff
Jack Cardiff (2010) by Craig
McCall.[4][5]
It took 17 years to make but wasn't completed or released until after
Cardiff had died. As well as many interviews with Cardiff, it included
tributes from Mills, Martin Scorsese, Thelma Schoonmaker, Kathleen
Byron, Kim Hunter, Moira Shearer, Lauren Bacall,
Charlton Heston
Charlton Heston and
Kirk Douglas. It was selected for the official selection of Cannes
Classics at the
Festival de Cannes
Festival de Cannes in 2010, as well as four other
important film festivals that year.[6]
Death[edit]
Cardiff died on 22 April 2009, aged 94, the same day as Ken Annakin,
with whom he had worked on
The Fifth Musketeer
The Fifth Musketeer (1979). He was survived
by his wife and his four sons.[7]
Legacy[edit]
