Cinematographer Robert Krasker and camera operator John Harris relaxing off-set in Vietnam with a rickshaw during a break from shooting 'The Quiet American' in 1957 – it wasn't always all work and no play:

Cinematographer Robert Krasker, BSC grew up in Western Australia's laser beam sunlight, deep black shadows, blue-tinged high ultraviolet skies and retina-burning specular highlights on the edges of corrugated iron rooftops:

The first film Robert Krasker worked on in Britain was 'Service for Ladies' starring Leslie Howard, for cinematographer Philip Tannura and producer/director Alexander Korda in 1931. Who was Leslie Howard, besides Ashley Wilkes in 'Gone with the Wind'?

Recent addition to my research reading list for The Robert Krasker Project, Eric Smoodin's 'Paris in the Dark: Going to the Movies in the City of Light 1930–1950':

The entry for 'The Third Man' shot by Robert Krasker, BSC in Denis Gifford's 'The British Film Catalogue' fails to attribute its Academy Award for Best Cinematography (Black-and-White ) to him. Otherwise the Catalogue may prove a crucial research tool:

Robert Krasker's brilliant CinemaScope monochrome cinematography for 'Billy Budd' is featured in 'Cinema ’62: The Greatest Year at the Movies', by Stephen Farber and Michael McClellan, recently released in paperback:

Another day working on The Robert Krasker Project and another chance discovery of an essential 7-volume set of reference books, if I can actually gain access to them somewhere, Rachael Low's 'The History of British Film':

I fact checked the entry on Robert Krasker in the highly-regarded 'The Film Encyclopedia' and am wondering if this is where the non-fact aka false belief that he worked on 'Birdman of Alcatraz' came from:

Needing to fill some gaping holes in my education, I went online again recently to find some books that might help and each one had the words 'Chicago Guide' in their titles:

Young Robert Krasker's life and education were supposed to be underwritten by his late father's legacy but it was stolen on the Krasker family's first trip to Europe. Tragedy upon tragedy that changed their lives forever:

The one TV commercial Robert Krasker shot, 'Gertcha' shot in monochrome for Courage Best Bitter, via access to The Times and other British newspapers via Gale and the State Library of New South Wales:

In 1954 'The Age' newspaper reported that Australian cinematographer Robert Krasker, BSC was commissioned to 're-design the street lighting of principal Italian cities'. I am still chasing the facts:

I don't have any words left, again, so i will be back later. Hang in there, people:

I just did a fact check update on an important article about Robert Krasker, BSC dating back to May 2023, dealing with misinformation that Krasker was the 'son of a pearl fisherman' and was 'born in Shark Bay' as the facts are way more interesting:
