Slocombe began his work behind the lens as a wartime cameraman during the German invasion of Poland in 1939. The last of his 84 films was Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, set during World War II. (He shot Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom as well.) In between, he photographed several classic Ealing comedies, The Lavender Hill Mob and Kind Hearts and Coronets (both starring Alec Guinness), in addition to the King Henry II drama The Lion in Winter, the F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation The Great Gatsby, the Jane Fonda/Vanessa Redgrave picture Julia, the Norman Jewison films Rollerball and Jesus Christ Superstar, and Joseph Losley’s The Servant.
