Remembering Frederick William (Freddie) Francis (1917-2007), the great English cinematographer and director, born in Islington #OnThisDay. His long, Oscar-winning career as a #cinematographer encompassed outstanding work for Jack Clayton (notably The Innocents, 1961), David Lynch (The Elephant Man, 1980) and Martin Scorsese (Cape Fear, 1991)...
