Lucien Andriot ASC〔http://www.theasc.com/magazine/mar99/members/〕 (1892-1979) was a prolific French-American cinematographer. He would eventually shoot more than 200 films and television programs over the course of his career. == Life and work == Born in Paris, Andriot began his career in France in 1909 working for Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset. His elder sister Josette Andriot was a French film actress, working for Jasset. He then came to the U.S. some time before 1914 as an employee of the Éclair American Company based in Fort Lee, New Jersey, 〔Fort Lee: the film town, by Richard Koszarski, page 108〕 〔http://fortleefilm.org/studios.html〕 The outbreak of World War I drove a re-organization of foreign film-industry assets in Fort Lee, including the employees. Now working for the World Film Company, financed by Lewis J. Selznick and run by William A. Brady, Andriot became a member of a separate French-speaking unit within World Film. For about three years Maurice Tourneur, George Archainbaud, Emile Chautard, Albert Capellani worked together on films such as the 1915 version of ''Camille'', and taught a young apprentice at the World studio: Josef von Sternberg. 〔Von Sternberg, by John Baxter, pages 21-22〕 Andriot moved to Hollywood around 1920 and went to work for Fox. The cinematography of the early widescreen John Wayne western ''The Big Trail'' in 1930 is unfortunately not his: his was the standard-looking 35mm version, shot in parallel alongside Arthur Edeson's ground-breaking "70mm Grandeur" version. 〔''John Wayne's America'', by Garry Wills, page 53〕 But Andriot did show a long-standing affinity for French directors working in Hollywood, initially Maurice Tourneur, and later René Clair, Robert Florey, and Jean Renoir. In the 1930s and 1940s Andriot worked principally on B pictures for major studios. He did some television work in the 1950s and early 1960s, and retired to Palm Springs, California. Andriot is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale. == Partial filmography == Andriot's films include: *''The Face in the Moonlight'' (1915) * ''The Poor Little Rich Girl'' (1917) * ''The Virtuous Model'' (1919) * ''The Man Who Lost Himself'' (1920) * ''A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court'' (1921) * ''Monte Cristo'' (1922) * ''In the Palace of the King'' (1923) * ''The Dangerous Flirt'' (1924) * ''The Thundering Herd'' (1925) * ''White Gold'' (1927) * ''A Ship Comes In'' (1928) * ''Christina'' (1929) * ''Happy Days'' (1929) * ''The Valiant'' (1929) * ''The Big Trail'' (1930) (35mm version) * ''Bird of Paradise'' (1932) * ''Topaze'' (1933) * ''Anne of Green Gables'' (1934) * ''Charlie Chan at the Opera'' (1936) * ''The Gay Desperado'' (1936) * ''You Can't Have Everything'' (1937) * ''Mr. Moto in Danger Island'' (1939) * ''The Lady in Question'' (1940) * ''Lucky Cisco Kid'' (1940) * ''Moon Over Her Shoulder'' (1941) * ''Manila Calling'' (1942) * ''Secret Agent of Japan'' (1942) * ''Jitterbugs'' (1943) * ''Paris After Dark'' (1943) * ''They Came to Blow Up America'' (1943) * ''The Fighting Sullivans'' (1944) * ''The Southerner'' (1945) * ''And Then There Were None'' (1945) * ''The Diary of a Chambermaid'' (1946) * ''The Strange Woman'' (1946) * ''Dishonored Lady'' (1947) * ''Outpost in Morocco'' (1949) * ''Johnny One-Eye'' (1950) * ''Borderline'' (1950) * ''Home Town Story'' (1951) * ''Half Human'' (1958) (American sequences) == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucien Andriot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
