It was on TV last night, and I hadn't seen it for quite some time. Every shot was perfect, every camera movement and starting/stopping shot was perfect as well as the moves themselves, eye lines, lighting, use of architectural angles and his use of the rule of 1/3rds.
For someone learning cinematography, this is a very good movie to study, as visually, everything was done right. I've never seen it on a list of "must see / must study" discussions on filming, and for the life of me, I can't imagine why. I don't own it, but soon will. I've just noticed that half the movies he's listed as DP on in the IMDB have been among my favorites, and now I know why.
Peter Menzies Jr. is the Director of Photography. What an excellent eye.
