British film maker Ronald Neame died last week at age 99. Although not a household name, his career over many decades and as cameraman, producer and director was an inspiration. His biography, Straight From The Horse's Mouth is one of my favorite books. I have recently been exploring his work as an Elstree Studio cameraman, enjoying his many films with 1930's British superstar but largely unknown stateside comedian George Formby.
