Thriller Black Narcissus, starring Deborah Kerr in 1947, was one of the early classics of cinematographer Jack Cardiff, who has died at the age of 94.
Another of Cardiff's movies was 1951's African Queen starring Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. Bogart won an Academy Award for his role.
Audrey Hepburn starred in Cardiff's 1956 big screen adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, also starring Henry Fonda.
Screen icons Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe teamed up for Cardiff's 1957 comedy The Princess and the Showgirl.
An adaptation of DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers in 1960 saw Cardiff once again as director with Trevor Howard as one of his stars.
Cardiff was also director on the 1967 movie Girl on a Motorbike, starring French heart-throb Alain Delon and British singing star Marianne Faithfull, here on set in Alsace, France.
Murder and intrigue was the order of the day in Cardiff's 1978 version of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile, of which Mia Farrow and Simon MacCorkindale were just two of the many stars.
