Wolfgang Suschitzky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wolfgang Suschitzky, born 29 August 1912 in Vienna, Austria, is a cinematographer and photographer.
Edith Tudor-Hart, the woman who is credited with suggesting that the NKVD recruit Kim Philby, was Suschitzky's sister. He was born above his family’s socialist bookshop and, speaking in an interview at the age of 95 in September 2007, he recalled boyhood memories of the excitement that greeted the Russian Revolution in 1917 (see here).
Travelling to England in 1934, he worked in various capacities before becoming a cameraman for Paul Rotha.
His credits include Ulysses, directed by Joseph Strick, Ring of Bright Water, directed by Jack Couffer, Living Free, also directed by Couffer, and Get Carter, directed by Mike Hodges. His son Peter Suschitzky is also a cinematographer.
