Accompanied by Kline he escaped with his film footage on a horse and cart, finally returning to London via Latvia and Stockholm.〔 He became a leading photographer at Ealing Studios during the 1940s. Slocombe has worked on 84 feature films over a period of 47 years. His early films as cinematographer included several classic Ealing comedies, notably ''Kind Hearts and Coronets'' (1949), ''The Man in the White Suit'' (1951), ''The Lavender Hill Mob'' (1951) and ''The Titfield Thunderbolt'' (1953).
